The article deals with the activities of the Slovene women's associations in the period between World War I and II and the related archival records. The author presents the organisational structure of these associations, the contents and form of the various activities in which these women's organisations were involved during the time in question, and their aims. The article also introduces some of the most prominent leaders of the women's movement, their ideological orientation, and their connections to political parties, as well as the reasons why these societies were abolished and were gradually forgotten in the period of socialist Yugoslavia. A very detailed account is also given of the activities of the Slovene section of the Yugoslav Women's Association, which encompassed the largest number of various women's associations of all the sections within Yugoslavia. The author has also compiled a list of the institutions which keep the archival records of these associations and presents the fonds and collections which keep these materials, along with a description of the types and contents of these archival records.
