{"value"=>"<p>This subseries contains Franciska Schwimmer's incoming correspondence from friends, professional colleagues and piano students, as well as some copies of her outgoing correspondence, especially in later years. There is a notable gap in materials during 1919. Family correspondence can be found in Series I.</p> <p>Major correspondents include Irma Kemény-Varjas (signing off as Irmus); Margít, Gizella and Viola Nemes (Viola was a former pupil of Franciska's); Ilona and Nándor Pogány, Hugó Hajnál; Otto Róth; Dulci Földiák; Boszke Kardos; Rosika's close friend and associate, Lola Maverick Lloyd, and Lola's children, Georgia, Mary and Jesse Lloyd; Theodore Koppanyi; Corinne Brown, Katherine Leckie and Esther Strauss. Between 1905 and 1907, there are large caches of correspondence from Emilie Sucharda in Vienna and Andreas Mollerup in Copenhagen.</p> <p>Among Hungarian and international feminists and pacifists, Franciska corresponded frequently with Vilma Glücklich, Paula Pogány, Adele Spády and Charlotte Steinberger, occasionally with Mellerné Miskolczy Eugénia and Szidónia Wilhelm, as well as with international figures such as Aletta Jacobs, Rosa Manus, Mien Palthe, Bessie and Charles Vickery Drysdale, Alice Park, Jane Addams, Carrie Chapman Catt, Lida Gustava Heymann, and Mary Ritter Beard.</p> <p>In 1920s-1940s correspondence with Lola Maverick Lloyd, Rosika is a frequent topic of discussion. Much of the later correspondence in the subseries relates to the Schwimmer-Lloyd collection, as Franciska solicited materials and reflections from Rosika's acquaintances, and there are also some carbon copies of Rosika's and her assistant Edith Wynner's correspondence.</p> <p>This subseries documents Franciska's career as a piano teacher, her work teaching disabled children, her book, <span class=\"title\">Great Musicians as Children</span>, and her 1925 article in \"Music as an Aid to Nervous Children\" in Social Progress. Her current and former piano students corresponded with her frequently. See also the Professional Papers subseries for additional correspondence from Franciska's colleagues and friends, especially in response to <span class=\"title\">Great Musicians as Children</span>.</p>"}
