Sažetak
Being a teacher in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not easy. Teachers were expected to be experts in many fi elds, so that they had many additional duties and obligations which had no infl uence on their income. In order to improve their position and preserve the reputation of their profession, teachers demanded that they be put on an equal footing with civil servants in every respect. However, the authorities kept on rejecting their demands. Teachers were poorly paid and could not choose where they will be sent to teach. Often, they ended up in remote villages where they had to help local farmers, advise them on agriculture and try to improve their work and make it easier. The position of female teachers was even worse as legal provisions regulated their marital status. They could marry teachers only in case of which their salary would be reduced. This referred to female teachers in the whole Monarchy. In spite of everything, teachers managed to contribute to the local community with their social and cultural activities, by teaching children and helping the local population. They founded their own associations to fi ght more easily and more visible for their rights. They also published magazines where they published their own articles and inform the public about their position, seeking better working conditions.
