It has already been noticed and widely described the tremendous development of the educational system in the socialist Yugoslavia. In this period, it is especially increased the access to education for various underprivileged social groups including women and people with visual impairments among others. Furthermore, it is mentioned that the different educational and socializing models for visually impaired men and women coexisted, burdened with prejudices and stereotypes. For this reason, in this paper we tackle the social position of visually impaired women during the period of socialism. Concretely, the aim of the paper is to explore the chances and experiences of visually impaired women in terms of their education and employment. The research questions were threefold. Firstly, we examined the educational practice and experiences of women during socialism. Secondly, we presented narratives and testimonies on the process of employment and experiences on the labor sphere. Thirdly, we will examine some of the memories concerning the private sphere, work life balance and independence for visually impaired women. In that way, we will present their attitudes, key experiences and obstacles they faced. Referring to the method used in this paper, firstly we used unpublished archive sources in order to gain information, statistical data and trends on the social position of women with visual impairments, as well as the ideological considerations and discourses. Secondly, we analyzed narratives from semi-structured interviews with the visually impaired women who finished segregated educational institutions and entered the labor sphere during the socialist period. In the analysis we used qualitative approach and oral history in order to present the social position of visually impaired women from their own perspective.
