Women’s side of the National Liberation War in Montenegro

Summary/Abstract: The legacy of the National Liberation War (NOB) occasionally becomes a matter of public interest, usually not for the right reasons, more often for the benefit of socio-political elites who approach this topic according to the current political developments. Such attitude often results in the mythologization of achievements, and currently, it appears that in the whole Yugoslav space including Montenegro, relativization of the fight and balance of power, marginalizing of values, and even declaratory upholding of the values, deprived of essential understanding of NOB, its importance for the given time and space context, including more prevailing revisionism. However, either already established postulates or aforementioned revisionism, barely mention the role of women in NOB. Thus, this paper aims to address the contributions of women, shed light on the ‘feminine side’ of NOB, and re-examine the gender roles back then, but also in the current reading of NOB.
