Description
Women and Yugoslav Partisans provides a comprehensive examination of the often-overlooked contributions of women to the Yugoslav Partisan resistance during World War II. Jelena Batinić draws on extensive archival research and primary sources to reveal how women participated in combat, served as intelligence operatives, managed hospitals, and organized civilian support networks.
This groundbreaking work challenges traditional military historiography by centering women’s experiences and demonstrating their integral role in the successful liberation struggle against Nazi occupation and Italian invasion. Batinić explores how women’s participation intersected with broader revolutionary ideologies and how their wartime service influenced post-war Yugoslav society. The book provides invaluable insights into gender, resistance, and the complexities of total war in Southeast Europe.
