| Title | A Latecomer Among Yugoslav Feminisms? New Feminist Groups in Slovenia (1982-1990) |
| Summary | This thesis examines the emergence of new feminist groups in Slovenia between 1982 and 1990. The central question this thesis has asks is how the members of the new feminist groups in Slovenia engaged in acts of citizenship within the framework of state institutions. The thesis analyses materials created by the members of new feminist groups. It examines oral history interviews with former members of new feminist groups and feminist publications published in this period. By examining these sources, this thesis argues that in the observed period, the institutional framework of the state youth organisation in Yugoslavia presented a meaningful site for feminist politics. It enabled acts of citizenship by providing infrastructure, resources, and visibility. This thesis contributes to the literature on women’s movements and feminist groups in socialist Yugoslavia. It aims to fill the gap in existing scholarship with focusing on the developments in Slovenia, which are neglected within this body of literature. By examining the history of new feminist groups as situated within the state institutional framework, this thesis contributes a new perspective on the development of oppositional and critical groups in socialist systems. |
