Abstract

This work is primarily an essay on female figures in the history of the Croatian people. It begins with idealized women from the period of the Croatian National Monarchy in the tenth century based upon tombstone inscriptions in Solin, especially Jelena, wife of King Krešimir: mother of the poor, patron saint of widows and peacemaker. Mention is also made of other rulers, nuns, wives of great men, women from folk songs and women from the world of art, especially poetesses. These are mostly positive figures who have made a rich contribution to the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Croatians.
