On the basis of previous theoretical discussions of the toponomics of street names (Urška Perenič, Anže Slana, Michael Billig, Maoz Azaryahu), the paper considers Ljubljana streets named after women. With the help of an adapted typology, all the Ljubljana streets named after women are characterised, following the chronology of their naming. The spatial location of these "women's streets" are also considered. By way of conclusion, some preliminary observations are offered regarding how the spirit of the times and of society is expressed through naming streets after women writers.
