The Woman in the Military Frontier

Antea Tokić

Sažetak

After the militarisation of the Military Frontier, the average frontiersman became more and more overburdened by the military service and duties to the state. As a result, women became the main producers and manpower in the household – but without all the rights men enjoyed. For women, taking over the traditional male duties resulted in a harsh life, deterioration of their health, and high mortality. This paper explores the roles the woman had in the society of the time: as a student, worker, fiancée, wife, widow, or as a member of the zadruga collective. Our findings of any of these are limited by the interests of the state and its contemporaries, which were of varying intensity.
