Rural women have not had a formative role in the public histories
of Central Eastern Europe. Izabella Agardi aims to correct that by
concentrating on their life stories and their connections to
general histories. She investigates how Hungarian-speaking,
ordinary women in rural contexts born in the 1920s and 1930s
remember and talk about the twentieth century they have
experienced, and how, through their stories, they articulate
historical change and construct themselves as historical subjects.
In her analysis, Izabella Agardi traces the interactions between
micro- and macro- narratives as well as the specific tools women of
this generation appropriate to talk about personal memories of
their often traumatic past. From these stories, a particular
mnemonic community emerges, one that speaks from a highly
precarious position 'on the verge of history'. It is up to future
generations whether these women's experiences will be remembered or
forgotten.
