ABSTRACT
Hungarian reform movements to equalize rights of the sexes date back to the time of the French Revolution, but first successful reform legislation had to wait until Compromise of 1867. A great boost to the feminist movement was given by the publication of the first Hungarian women's magazine the Nok Lapja in 1871. The war swept away conservative regime of Admiral Horthy and semiaristocratic rule of interwar period; current regime in Hungary brought with secret-ballot election laws to guarantee full political rights to women. The Feminist Union was organized in 1904 and finally the Union of Hungarian Women's Organizations, a branch of the International Women's Council, was organized.
