This master's thesis deals with women from the Lower Savinja Valley who found themselves accused of crimes at the Vransko District Court in the period between the two world wars. The thesis focuses on individual criminal records, which are used to determine the socio-economic status, age and profession of the persons who committed the criminal offense. Demographic data is discussed in the context of the position of women in society at the time. By using legal regulations in combination with court rulings, the severity of judges in imposing sentences for individual offenses is determined. In addition to data on female offenders, the analysis also provides data on persons who found themselves in court as plaintiffs and witnesses. Based on this, social relations and everyday life in the peacetime period of the first half of the 20th century are presented. The purpose of the thesis is to offer an insight into the everyday life of women in the first half of the 20th century from the western part of the Lower Savinja Valley, which can serve as a reference for further research into the history of women and the history of criminality in the future.
