U borbi za kruh i ruže – štrajkaške prakse radnica u Hrvatskoj između dvaju svjetskih ratova (1918.–1939.)
In the Struggle for Bread and Roses – Strike Practices of Women Workers in Croatia Between the two World Wars (1918-1939)

Summary/Abstract: Despite the repressive frameworks of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, and later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, in which Croatia was a part, and the fact that women did not have political rights, womenworkers increasingly demanded improvements in their social and economic conditions during the interwar period. This was particularly evident in the strikes organized by women workers, where they sought better working conditions, higher wages, and the signing of collective agreements. In this context, the goal of this paper is to analyze three significant women’s strikes (the strike of women workers at the Schicht soap factory, the Bizjak biscuit factory, and Tivar). The analysis is based on archival sources from the Croatian State Archives in Zagreb and the State Archives in Osijek, as well as periodicals (Organizovani radnik, Radnička štampa, Hrvatski list, etc.) and secondary literature, which are used to provide a broader sociopolitical context for the organization and progression of these strikes.
