Temeljem analize objavljenih i neobjavljenih izvora te literature autorica donosi pregled djelovanja dva ženska udruženja u Zagrebu, „Gospojinskog kluba“ i „Zemaljske gospojinske udruge za naobrazbu i zaradu ženskinja u Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji“ u razdoblju od 1900. do 1924. godine. Istraživan je i prezentiran njihov osnutak, pravila te njihovo društveno djelovanje čiji se utjecaj odražavao na svakodnevni život Zagrepčana i socijalnu politiku grada. Usporedno s time prate se političke promjene i povijesni događaji poput pada Dragutina Khuena- Hedervarya, Prvog svjetskog rata te raspada Austro- Ugarske Monarhije i osnivanja Države te Kraljevine SHS, kao i njihove posljedice i njihov utjecaj na djelovanje društava. Na taj način istražuju se i povijest svakodnevice, kulturna i društvena povijest te povijest žena.Based on analysis of published and unpublished archival material and literature, the author gives an overview of activity of two women's societies in Zagreb, „Women´s Club“ and „Women´s State associations for education and earnings of women in Croatia and Slavonia“ in the period of 1900. till 1924.
