In order to understand the image of women in legally published newspapers in Slovenia during the Second World War, one also has to take into consideration the papers published at the end of the 1930s, i.e. just before the war. Their leitmotif is that a devout mother is the heart of a devout family, while a non-Christian, neglectful mother from a non-Christian family stands as its antipode. Similarly, the Slovene bourgeois newspapers published during the war also identify two types of women. On the one hand, there are the Christian mother and girl, full of mildness, kindness and love, while on the other, there is the 'communist woman', shown as a prostitute who only joined the partisans to enjoy whatever freedom there might be.
