Title Making a Partisan: Founding Narratives on the Participation of Women in the People's Liberation Struggle in Yugoslavia
Summary This thesis is a contribution to the growing body of scholarly work on the relationship between state socialism and feminism in Yugoslavia. It focuses on the wartime development of the image of female partisans (partizanke) and the postwar construction of memory about them. Sources central to this project are the editions of the official monthly magazine of the women’s organization Antifascist Front of Women of Croatia (Antifašistička fronta žena Hrvatske, AFŽH). The time frame is the period from June 1943, when the magazine was first published under the guidance of the AFŽH, until the dissolution of this organization in 1953.
