Sažetak
An oral history project involving interviews with Croatian women intellectuals and artists will be presented. In the course of the project everyday lives of women intellectuals are being analyzed, especially exploring how they combined their personal lives and intellectual endeavors in a society that traditionally assigned them domestic and nurturing roles. The project’s aim is to question did they feel different from the other women because of their intellectual interest, and to what extent were their personalities and ways of life shaped by themselves, and how much they think they have succumbed to the pressures and norms of the society? Croatia and the rest of Europe are facing retraditionalization, which disrupted women’s lives and women’s history. The younger generations of women often embrace conservative trends uncritically, while at the same taking feminism’s outcomes for granted, unaware of the fact that the women’s rights once gained are not irreversible but depend on the fragile socio-political circumstances. This can be challenged by the use of oral history. Younger women could feel empowered by the older women’s struggle for equality and more fulfilled lives. The private struggles – especially those of educated women outsiders – have the capacity to overcome the generational differences and make real changes. In order for the younger women to get “guidelines” to more emancipated lives, women’s past lives have to be narrated (as autobiographical texts or interviews), archived and seriously analyzed, so that they could be publicly presented and reach them.
