Abstract

This article presents historical development of women`s societies and their role in creation of specific women’s identities in Serbia through Yugoslav experiences and practices. The main goal was to analyse relationships between women`s associations and dominant state policies, as well as, construction of women’sidentities and transformation of social roles. The processes were observed since the first women’s societies foundation, initial activities and humanitarian and patriotic engagement, until their growth into a typical first wave feminist movement, in Kingdom of Yugoslavia. After the World War II construction of women’s identity in Yugoslavia anticipated new ideological concepts of women’s emancipation and liberation trough state policies defined by Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Research ends with the women’s societies from last decade of the 20. century, in Serbia, and their anti-war, political, feminist and educational activities.
