Political activism of Slovene women in Venezia Giulia after World War I and the rise of fascism. From autonomy to subordinationVerginella, Marta (Avtor) womenantifascismfascismJulijan marchpost-war periodThe paper addresses Slovene women’s activities in organizations in the Julian March and opens questions associated with their political and national activity after World War I and after the rise of fascism in Italy. Attention has been paid to the transition from legal to illegal activity and the role played by women in the Slovene anti-fascist movement of the 1920s and 1930s. It is evident from police sources that women (particularly students and educated women) often appeared in lists of persons who were deemed a threat to the fascist regime. The extent and features of women’s illegal activities were only partly documented by historiography, which, notably, failed to explore the extent and characteristics of women’s illegal activities. The article sheds light on two remarkable antifascists, Fanica Obid and Ljudmila Rutar, whom the authorities regarded as a grave threat to Mussolini’s regime.20182020-07-28 18:20:54Neznano117820sl
