A nice historical human-interest story on women during the revolution of the 19th C. This would seem like a very standard Sunday-supplement article to American eyes -- until one remembers that this is exactly the sort of history that was denied Hungarians for generations.

Thanks for coming by. I did not put things well. I was not referring to Hungarian women being excised from history (though there is that, too), but to the rewriting and suppression of more recent history, 1850-1950, by the communists. The information was not completely lost or unavailable, but for reasons of their own, the USSR tried to steal all the national histories.
