Autorica obrađuje neka pitanja pravnog položaja žene u srednjovjekovnom Zadru ukazujući na odgovarajuća rješenja drugih dalmatinskih pravnih sustava. U uvodnom dijelu navode se vrela zadarskog srednjovjekovnog prava. U središnjem dijelu rada obrađena su pitanja pravnog položaja žene u statusnom, obiteljskom (s bračnim), imovinskom i procesnom pravu. U reguliranju pravnog položaja žene u Zadarskom, kao i u ostalim statutima na hrvatskoj obali Jadrana, uz postojanje izvornih rješenja zamjetna je sličnost s drugim pravnim sustavima, posebno mletačkim, slavenskim, rimsko-bizantskim, langobardskim i drugim.The author analyses some questions on the legal position of women in medieval Zadar pointing out appropriate solutions of other Dalmatian legal systems. In the introduction, the sources of Zadar medieval law are stated. In the middle part of the paper, questions on the legal position of women in status terms, family (with marriage), property and procedural law are analysed. In the regulation of the legal position of women in the Zadar as in other legal statutes on the Croatian Adriatic coast, besides the existence of original solutions, the similarity to other legal systems is noticeable, in particular to the Venetian, Slavic, Roman Byzantine, Langobardian and other systems
