The present article examines the autobiographies of six women from three generations who thematised the transition period after World War II (1945–1955) in their published autobiographical texts: Ilka Vašte, Mira Mihelič, Nada Kraigher, Nedeljka Pirjevec, Manica Lobnik, and Nada Gaborovič. Several thematic commonalities can be extracted from the texts, including the authors’ considerations of family life, (intellectual) work, gender, politics, and the transition to the new state and social order of post-war Yugoslavia. The article demonstrates where the authors of the texts under discussion meet and where they diverge while defining the women’s experience during the transition and placing it in the broader historical context of the time.
