The Association, founded in 1924, was initially a non-party union of socialist, communist and also politically undecided women. But after its first congress in 1926, it decided to join the Yugoslav Socialist Party. Its ideological and political orientation was reflected by the periodical Ženski list, published between 1924 and 1935. Leadership of the Association rejected factious quarrels and stood in favour of a unified labour movement. The Association's sphere of activity included all questions concerning women. At the same time, it took part in the activities of the class labour movement. Under the influence of the communist faction, the Association's activities were particularly noticeable in the pay and strike dispute movement. Because the Association apparently transgressed the limits of a »non-party organization«, the government dissolved it in November 1935.
