ABSTRACT

Women's Infoteka was founded and registered in December 1992, with regular activities beginning in March 1993. The reasons for establishing such a women's center are of a dual nature. First, the need for a women's information and documentation center to collect data and documentation on women's activities and initiatives and to disseminate information has existed for a long time. Second, since the beginning of war in Croatia in 1991, feminism has undergone a fundamental crisis of identity due partially to the war but also to difficulties inherent in feminism. Women's Infoteka collects data and documentation on the development of the women's movement, on women's groups and organizations that are active today, and on women's/feminist research in various fields. The women's library at Infoteka is growing, and there is a reading room with current feminist publications and periodicals. This space is also used for group discussions and meetings.
