- Description
- This paper presents a study of feminist representations of the situation in the former Yugoslavia. Feminist texts that were generated in response to the wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina,which appeared in both the feminist popular press and scholarly publications in English, are being looked at. By focusing on the ideological plane, seen in terms of narrative structures available for speaking and perceiving one's experience, the author seeks to examine the feminist representation of the conflict of Yugoslav nationalisms and within Yugoslav feminism itself.
