Abstract

Wih the example of women's newspaper The Slovenka we can follow how the writing about »the first Slovene women's newspaper« offered the opportunity to talk about Marica Nadlišek (1867-1940) as »the first Slovene female editor«, about Elvira Dolinar (1870-1961) as »the first Slovene feminist«, or about Zofka Kveder (1878-1926) as »the first Slovene female writer«. While »the first women's newspaper« as a particularity, an achievement, and a gain is in the centre of memorial events in politics and memorial celebrations, the place of »the second women's newspaper« is unoccupied, even more, it was never realised. Four newspaper projects in the period 1919-1944/45 which were also called The Slovenka should have formed the genealogy which created from »the first Slovene women's newspaper« also »the first Slovene women's newspaper called The Slovenka«.
