Summary:
The book is a collection of lectures, which took place in KUD France Prešeren (Art and cultural association France Prešeren, Ljubljana) in 1995, under the heading “The Women’s block”. It reflects the intellectual atmosphere of that time through views of seventeen authors on three areas: civil society, state and university. Authors are connecting feminist theory and activism
while discussing: the history of menstruation; counselling and other support services available to women; Office for women’s policy; education and care of preschool children; women’s studies in the university curricula; medical discourse on women; women in politics; fertility; sexist use of language; contraception; and female body.
