Charitable Activity during the Great War in Hungary as well as in Great Britain and France

Abstract

In my study, I examine the role of women in charitable activities and charity organisations. I present the activities and significant actions of one of the best-known charity associations, the Augusta Foundation. I will also examine the work of Franciska Apponyi from Fót, one of the most prominent aristocratic ladies in the field of good service. Of the actions of many charities and individuals, I will highlight some of the more significant ones. I present finally a major charitable action of two Entente States, Great Britain and France.
