Women Who Built Socialist Yugoslavia


(An interesting subject, though politically biased, shows some of the work of the woman architects Yugoslav in the post-war period)

In socialist Yugoslavia, the woman gained her emancipation with the rifle. The activities of the Women's Anti-Fascist Front during World War II, which extended from the armed struggle to the grassroots political organization, promoted feminist causes and solidified the position of women in the creation of the socialist federation. With the transition to civilian life, Yugoslavia's first post-war constitution in 1946 unequivocally granted full citizenship to Yugoslav women, guaranteeing the right to vote for all citizens, regardless of sex, and providing special protection for the place of women in the production process.
