Description:
Proletarian women! Your time has come to gain control over your country! Original Hungarian leftist propaganda material from 1919, the year of the Hungarian Soviet Republic (Tanácsköztársaság)
Political leaflet addressing the proletarian women. It recalls the hard times of the Great War, the long and cold winters they and their children had to survive and the promises they got. Then it says that the protection and financial support that was promised to them wasn't enough for anything and these suffering women were left alone with their pain and worries. The leaflet assures these women that they have right to be angry and they were the ones who suffered the most. It also warns them that the system that killed their husbands and children wants to get back to power. It asks them to protect the reign of the proletariat with their heart of a mother and instincts of a women. It promises that although it seems hard, this will be the last time they suffer, if they manage to stay in power. The leaflet calls people to read it and pass it on.
