ABSTRACT
Based on an analysis of Slovenian and Anglo-American archival documents and other sources and publications, the paper aims to present the main issues related to the theme of women’s work in Slovenian schools in Trieste and Gorizia in the first period after the Second World War (in the very tense atmosphere of the emerging Cold War). In our discussion, we have considered the inadequate working conditions in schools; the dismissals of politically suspect teachers by the Anglo-American Allied Military Government; the aid given to those who had been dismissed by the pro-Yugoslav camp; the unresolved legal situation for teachers and professors; and the female role in writing school textbooks.
