Yugoslav Feminists in Socialism: Disrupting the Mainstream Narratives

Our impulse to probe the concept of the women’s heritage from the socialist past in former Yugoslavia comes from the concern for enriching both theoretical and activist endeavors of contemporary feminists with a novel perspective and knowledge on the past. Starting from discussing epistemological questions related to the concepts of heritage, time, and memory, we briefly outline main problems of the historiography of women's experience during socialism in Yugoslavia, including the emergence of feminist theory and activism, and proposing some theoretical tools for further debate. They could help to account for multiplicity and complex temporalities of feminist paths, interplay between Marxist and feminist agency in socialist Yugoslavia, and re-position the debate on the feminist and socialist past in complex reality of the post-Yugoslav space/time.
