| Popis | The paper will be dedicated to the periodical Dennica and its founder Terézia Vansová (1857 – 1942) as well as to their position in the Slovak literature development. Terézia Vansová was one of the first female writers officially publishing in the Slovak language. In this talk, we focused on conditions for a creation of the first Slovak magazine for women in the complicated historical and social environment of contemporary Austria-Hungary. However, the issue of women’s emancipation became very discussed and popular in Europe in the 19th century, Slovak women’s self-realisation was deeply marked by a generally complicated political, cultural, and economic situation. Slovak women’s emancipation efforts were timely and functionally related to the Slovak national movement which was, in compliance with the definition of the ethnic nation, focused mainly on spreading and strengthening the use of the “young” standard Slovak language in all social classes. Terézia Vansová wanted to focus the new women’s periodical on all classes of women, including women with elementary education and a non-established habit to read. The content, but also the linguistic level of published texts, had to be subordinated to aim of the readability literally to every woman able to read, in contrast with difficult and linguistically complicated articles in “Slovenské pohľady” or “Národné noviny” (other Slovak periodicals mainly intended for men). |
