Abstract
The author summarises the arc of the developments of new Yugoslav feminism, marked by different interpretations of concepts and thus constantly contributing new meanings to the ideological set-up of feminism. The conclusion emphasises how the investigations into the possibilities of feminism in Yugoslavia were supported by the rethinking of concepts such as work, family and patriarchy and by the introduction of a new terminology for gender and sexism. The author emphasises that the greatest change the feminists achieved was the creation of a new feminist language, an intervention into the existing discourse on women and women’s rights, thus providing not only a vocabulary, but also new ways of organising, new forms of collectivities and even parallel institutions for the years that came after the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1991.
