Mothers, infants, and the state in the twentieth century
Throughout the long twentieth century, maternity in Central Eastern Europe (CEE) has witnessed enormous transformations characterized by the reshaping of mothers’ ascribed and expected roles, along with their maternal duties, and their lived experiences. These transformations are worth exploring as maternity is essential to the survival of both the individual child and of humanity in general, which is why it has always had a particular social and…
Supporting the Core of Our Nation
At the beginning of the First World War, Emilia Węsławska – a woman who belonged to the rural nobility and prior to the war had been actively engaged in the ranks of National Democracy party in Vilnius – created the Support Committee for Intellectual and Qualified Workers from the Destroyed Polish Kingdom. The organisation was supposed to act as a medium connecting intellectual and qualified workers – who Węsławska envisaged as the very ‘core’ of…
For the sake of the Children
A private organization created and managed by a devoted founder, Muriel Paget's Mission to the Baltic States developed a welfare programme merging Paget's pre-war charity work and the main agenda of post-war humanitarianism. In managing the mission's activities, Paget distinguished between relief and rehabilitation. While rehabilitation practices were an extension of the pre-war work in which Paget had been involved, child welfare measures reflec…

Throughout wartime, the Lithuanian War Relief Committee profited from its position as a tool to develop a network of facilities devoted to children assistance. While having unprecedented rights to autonomously administer relief facilities, the Committee, as far as financial conditions allo…
Lazy or diseased? Changing conceptions of beggars and vagrants in the Lithuanian discourse from the end of the nineteenth century to 1940
Until the outbreak of World War I, vagrants and beggars were depicted as a group lacking the basic elements of morality, which the national elite considered its own identity-maker. Unwillingness to work, filth, drunkenness, ignorance, and contagious diseases were depicted as the visible features of moral indignity. Their condition remained redeemable through educational tools. In postwar Lithuania, the overall characterization of vagrants and beg…
Fighting over Children. Relief, Rehabilitation and Childhood in Lithuania, 1914–1923
The article provides an insight into the history of Lithuanian war relief and rehabilitation work between the fall of 1914 and 1923. The author reviews how both during wartime and in the early postwar period Lithuanian humanitarianism became an instrument of nation–building, in which national and international actors intertwined the relief work and the goal to create new citizens. Relief and rehabilitation activities came out to be very similar i…
