Abstract
(Photoalbum, Diary and Novel – Researching the Life of Kónya Gyuláné Schéfer Teréz) Kónya Gyuláné Schéfer Teréz was born and raised in Cluj-Napoca. After fi nishing her studies, she became the fi rst female teacher in the Protestant College in the school year of 1907/1908. She then quit her job and married a protestant pastor, Kónya Gyula. In the engagement period Teréz kept a diary, which has been a great source of information for understanding how a young, educated woman in Transylvania thought about marriage and the place of a woman in the beginning of the 20th century. In the interwar period they lived in Magyarvalkó (Valcău), a little village in the Kalotaszeg region. She became involved in the life of the village and started to organize the home craft, providing work to the rural women, who could sew the traditional textiles. This article analyses her photo album, in the light of her diary and other written sources, like the autobiography of János Kemény and the novel of Márton Gerlóczy. The photos show us a woman who is aware of her status as the wife of a pastor, but seeks to fi nd ways to expand beyond this. We fi nd images taken at textile exhibitions, which are more closely linked to her independent identity, as the woman who reorganized the sewing in Kalotaszeg after the fi rst world war.
