Sažetak
The First World War brought about new roles and shared and specific experiences for the women of countries engaged in the conflict. With the emergence of women's history and development of social history, new questions were raised on the effects of the First World War on women's overall social and economic status. It has been widely accepted that the First World War brought about an increase in the employment of women in some of the countries at war, turning them sometimes into heads of families and allowing some of them to step out of the private sphere of their homes for the first time. My research aims to test out this hypothesis on the example of Osijek, a town located on the periphery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and close to the front. In showing the level of employment of women in a sugar processing factory in Osijek during the First World War, the paper will try to contribute to the discussion on this phenomenon that concerns both women's and social history.
