Women and Work in the North-Eastern Adriatic : Postwar Transitions Hardback
Edited by Marta (Professor of History, University of Ljubljana) Verginella, Urska (Researcher, Koper Scientific Research Centre) Strle
Part of the Work and Labor – Transdisciplinary Studies for the 21st Century series
Hardback
Description
The volume offers a comparative and transnational exploration of women's work in the twentieth century, concentrating especially on the turbulent periods after both World Wars and the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s.
The spatial focus of the analysis is the northeastern Adriatic region, which includes the border areas of Italy and Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia.
The study is one of the results of an international research project carried out with the support of the European Research Council. The seven studies in the book represent a cross-section of specific professional groups of women.
The spectrum ranges from female teachers, clerks, tobacco and textile workers to intellectual, artistic or entrepreneurial activities of women.
Although “gender” is a central category of analysis in the book, the aspect of representativeness was also observed in relation to other social factors such as race, class, generations, educational and religious background, etc.
The main question of the study was the extent to which new state affiliations, geopolitical boundaries, and the establishment of new political regimes affected the women's labor market in the three postwar constellations.
