After the demise of the Habsburg Empire in 1918, Fiume's long political transition provided women with new challenges and opportunities. This was especially true for female public employees who had to adapt to a weak and fluid state that provided them with social security and benefits in exchange for loyalty and control. Beginning with two case studies of women elected to the Fiume city council in 1919, this paper explores how the two professional cohorts they represented - teachers and tobacco workers - learned to cope with the turbulent national and political events, as well as with the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions.

Abstract
After the demise of the Habsburg Empire in 1918, Fiume's long political transition provided women with new challenges and opportunities. This was especially true for female public employees who had to adapt to a weak and fluid state that provided them with social security and benefits in exchange for loyalty and control. Beginning with two case studies of women elected to the Fiume city council in 1919, this paper explores how the two professional cohorts they represented - teachers and tobacco workers - learned to cope with the turbulent national and political events, as well as with the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
