Women\u27s Voices in Slovenia in the First Half of the 20th Century: Selected Autobiographies of Rebellious Women

V magistrskem delu z naslovom Ženski glasovi na Slovenskem v prvi polovici 20. stoletja: Izbrane avtobiografije uporniških žensk bom predstavila štiri uporniške ženske, in sicer Ilko Vašte, Almo Karlin, Miro Mihelič in Angelo Vode. Orisala bom nekaj ključnih dejstev o njihovem življenju in delu ter družbenih okoliščinah časa, v katerem so delovale. Vse štiri ženske so se zoperstavile prevladujočim patriarhalnim vzorcem v družbi tistega časa. S svojo vsestransko angažiranostjo so se borile za boljši položaj žensk (zasebno in javno) ter njihovo aktivno vključevanje na različnih področjih. Omenjene avtorice so se ukvarjale tudi s pisanjem, preko katerega so izražale svoje miselno-napredne ideje. V empiričnem delu magistrskega dela bom analizirala njihove avtobiografije, in sicer Sama: iz otroštva in mladosti (2010) Alme Karlin, Podobe iz mojega življenja (1964) Ilke Vašte, Ure mojih dni (1985) Mire Mihelič in Skriti spomin (2004) Angele Vode. Poskušala bom ugotoviti, katere so skupne značilnosti omenjenih avtobiografij in v čem se razlikujejo. Primerjala bom tudi razlike med takratnim družbenim statusom moških in žensk, zato bom analizirala še dve avtobiografiji, ki sta ju napisala moška pisca (Ivan Cankar in Vladimir Bartol). V izbranih avtobiografijah bom ugotavljala tudi stopnjo kritičnosti njihovega pisanja in kako se ta odraža v odklonilnosti recepcije.In my master\u27s thesis titled Women\u27s Voices in Slovenia in the First Half of the 20th Century: Selected Autobiographies of Rebellious Women, I will present four rebellious women, namely Ilka Vašte, Alma Karlin, Mira Mihelič and Angela Vode. I will outline some key facts about their lives and work and the social circumstances of the time. All four women opposed the prevailing patriarchal patterns in society at the time. Fully committed, they fought to improve the status of women (private and public) and promote their active involvement in various fields. The mentioned authors were also engaged in writing through which they expressed their advanced ideas. In the empirical part of the master\u27s thesis, I will analyze their autobiographies, namely Sama: iz otroštva in mladosti (2010) by Alma Karlin, Podobe iz mojega življenja (1964) by Ilka Vašte, Ure mojih dni (1985) by Mira Mihelič, and Skriti spomin (2004) by Angela Vode. I will try to determine the common features of the mentioned autobiographies and where they diverge. I will also compare the differences between the social status of men and women at the time and analyze two more autobiographies written by male writers (Ivan Cankar and Vladimir Bartol) accordingly. In the selected autobiographies I will also determine the degree of criticism in their writing and how it is reflected in the unfavourable receptio
