In a few words, until the beginning of these wars, feminism was something like a phenomenon under a bell jar. We organized discussions and so forth. However we didn’t understand that we could act politically as well, since under the bell jar of Tito’s socialism we had grown soft. Only the warfare, first in Croatia, then in Bosnia and Herzegovina, triggered, especially on the Serbian side, the feminists to become politically active against ethnic cleansing, against militarism, against nationalism. And first of all “Women in Black”, then Autonomous Women’s Center and last but not least, in 1992 we even founded the Center for Women’ s Studies. When we asked the girls – why did you come to the Center for Women’s Studies – they answered, we want to think.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
