Abstract
n this paper I focus on the possible impact that the First World War had on working women of Zagreb. The paper is based on a rich variety of published and unpublished primary material. My analysis of these materials has found that women of Zagreb experienced changes in their working opportunities and possibilities by late 1915 and early 1916. In that period, the significant lack of male workforce allowed women to be employed in vocations that were previously intended explicitly for men. My reading of the scholarly literature on the history of women’s work in other European countries during World War I, allows me to put my findings into a larger context.
