Ina Jun-Broda's poem is titled Self-Criticism, and in it Nurse Smilja takes a self-critical look at her behavior in the past week. In the second poem, Comradess Smilja talks with Comrade God, in which she asks him: How on earth have you constructed a woman??? I encourage you to take a look! :)

The third is the text we co-wrote with Iva Jelušić and Lucija Bakšić on another feminist revolutionary, a poet and translator Ina Jun-Broda. This is her first scholarly biography, and the translated text is a poem she wrote in her unpublished wartime diary.

The second is a biography of Mitra Mitrović (1912-2001), one of young communist feminists who fought against fascism and for feminism in the 1930s, then in the Partisan army, and then had an important role in the postwar reconstruction of Yugoslavia. Amazing writer; this biography is only beginning.

I had three entries. The first is contextualuzation of the 1936 program of "new feminism" published by young communist women in Yugoslavia. This text and the journal in which it was published, Žena danas (Woman Today), are one of the reasons why I became a historian: I wanted to understand them.

Proud to have been part of the big group of feminist historians who contributed to this important volume! It has one hundred (if I counted well :D) translated sources from around East Central Europe, with biographies and contextualizations. It's open access, take a look! ceupress.com/book/texts-a...

So, nothing more than "subtle unease" - as expected. I think this person I am writing about could potentially be concidered antifascist, although she was quite conservative (M. Govekar). I'll be in touch, maybe also with a question or two about the sources! But for now: congratulations!

Loved it! Will reference it in my upcoming (smaller) publication about a Yugoslav NCW activist's speech on housework, delivered on the Women's Hour radio program in Ljubljana. I would also love to read more about antifascism within the ICW—if there was any. :)

Just saw the film, finally. It's 🤯. Also, an (un)related topic, I find it increasingly hard not to judge people who "just want a nice life" with everything happening in this day and age, and who do whatever it takes. To put it mildly. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
