The thesis deals with the image of female partisans in the Slovenian press during and after the Second World War. The Communist Party saw the solution to gender inequality in the proletarian revolution. Thus, women could also become part of the National Liberation Army. Female artisans, that is, women soldiers, were something completely new. The partisan press, which was an essential part of the National Liberation War itself and conveyed the ideas of the Liberation front, played a major role in shaping the image of the female partisans. In the paper, four partisan newspapers were analyzed for the interwar image of female partisans: Slovenski poročevalec, Ljudska pravica, Naša žena and Slovenka. After the war, the social order changed to a socialist one, and with it, the position of women also changed. The post-war press, which was subject to a government directive, created the image of female partisans and women in general that best suited the new system. For the post-war image of female partisans, an analysis of three newspapers, which were continuously published even after the war, was made: Slovenski poročevalec, Ljudska pravica and Naša žena; and of one post-war newspaper - Delo.
