The end of the nineteenth century marks a major turning point for women in Slovenia. The publication of the First Slovene women's newspaper Slovenka in 1897 is in fact connected to the beginning of the Slovene women's movements. Gradually more and more women's newspapers began to be published, but most of them had a fairly short lifespan.
The diploma thesis explores three women's newspapers - Slovenska žena, Ženski list and Slovenka 1919. The objective was to set up bibliographic indexes of literature and literary works on Wikisource and a detailed analysis of the said literature at various levels.
It is important to point out that the newspapers in question are inadequately represented from the point of view of literature. They contain many discussions and articles informing Slovenian women about women's professions, household chores, voting rights, college programs, education, and women's movements across the country, as well as all around the world. The latter topic was the most important one in these newspapers as it helped Slovene women, who were inferior to men and lacking equality, get acquainted with their rights which they quite rightfully demanded.
