Women teachers in the whirlwind of post-war changes in the Julian March (1918-1926)Verginella, Marta (Avtor) teachersJulian Marchtransitionswomen questionantifascismThe article addresses changes occurring in education in the Julian March after November 1918. Based on the press and archival materials, it provides an analysis of the school authorities’ policy and the response of Slovene and Croatian teachers to a gradual closing of minority schools, with special attention to the position and operation of Slovene women teachers and their attitude towards the woman question. Attempting to adjust to the new circumstances and to defy Italianization, the Slovene minority school system introduced new forms of self-organization and intensive political activities. It was particularly Slovene women teachers who intensified their professional and public operation in the transition period also because the post-war period was favourably disposed towards young teachers. Being cut away from Ljubljana, the cultural and political centre, and aversion to the new state and its nationalist politics contributed to the susceptibility to radical trains of thought, also in terms of the woman question. 20212022-03-03 12:52:50Članek v reviji135262UDK: 93/94:37.011.3-051(450.36)\"1918/1926\"ISSN pri članku: 1318-0185DOI: 10.19233/AH.2021.34COBISS_ID: 92195331sl
