An Attempt to organize a Literacy Course for Muslim Women in Puračić (1940-1941): The Case of Teacher Borka Dobanovački

Summary/Abstract: (Ne)vidljivost žena u arhivskim fondovima i zbirkama Arhiva Bosne i Hercegovine (1878–1941) / This paper publishes several documents that discuss teacher Borka Dobanovački’s attempt to organize a literacy course for Muslim women in the winter of 1940/1941 in the village of Puračić, near Tuzla. Her efforts to utilize the available opportunities were met with disapproval from local religious officials, who obstructed the organization of the course. From the presented documents, considering that teacher Dobanovački sent a protest to the Ulema-Medžlis, it is possible to trace the development of the entire case and observe how the Islamic Community operated according to the strictly conservative views of certain imams. The presented documents can be useful in researching social processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the mid-20th century, especially for research related to the education of Muslim women and the attitude of religious institutions towards it.
