- Abstract
The development of modern forms of adult education entered into the phase of organised and institutionalised forms from the 1890s when, simultaneously, the political movement of women in Budapest was established. The two leading characteristic figures of Hungarian feminist movement were Rózsa Schwimmer and Vilma Glücklich who, between 1889 and 1919, worked and fought for the rights of women, especially for working women. The 1907 Hungarian National Congress on Free Education, was a forum to articulate a need for the improvement of and public recognition of education of working women. Glücklich and Schwimmer participated in the Congress. The paper discusses how both women argued that the education of working women should receive more attention as part of adult education provision so as to develop a more democratic and liberal society with equal rights and opportunities.
