National Gathering of Hungarian Noblemen

The National Gathering of Hungarian Noblemen was tantamount to the modern Hungarian parliament.[1]

In 1790 a man named Péter Bárány petitioned the National Gathering of Hungarian Noblemen in the name of Hungarian mothers to grant female nobles the right to observe the Gathering's proceedings.[1][2] He argued that these women would be better prepared to raise politically active, patriotic sons, but the assembly did not accept his petition.[1][3]
