Sažetak
The process by which all segments of the lives and activities of the citizens of Osijek were modernised, particularly those of the middle and the upper classes, was from the second half of the 19th century and in the fi rst decade of the 20th century linked to the prevailing urbanisation of the city on the Drava as well as to economic progress, which brought about changes in the lifestyle in all segments of social movements and activities. However, in this society, despite the modernization processes, the traditional separation of men and women and the continuation of traditional patriarchal values with men in the dominating position prevailed. The basic differences of male and female sex were accentuated as a natural state, which had an impact on all spheres of life and exceedingly found expression in the difference between male and female education, in the position of women and female children within the family as well as in the position of women and girls in social life and other spheres of life.
