Sedemdesiatpäť rokov týždenníka Slovenka
Seventy-five years of the magazine Slovenka

Summary/Abstract: The theme of the article is a commemoration of the establishment of the first women's pictorial magazine, which started publishing in Slovakia on February 20, 1948. The magazine Slovenka was a mutation of the Czech journal Venkovská žena and was published biweekly on sixteen pages. Its content aimed at promoting the communist regime after the Victorious February, as well as educating rural women and gradually integrating them into the working-class environment, especially in the 1950s. The article also explores the relationship between the Association Živena and the Slovak Women’s Union, into which the traditional association was forcibly incorporated, and within which Slovenka was published. The text also focuses on the period after 1990 when the magazine became a promoter of the ruling movement even under democratic conditions. Nowadays, Slovenka is perceived as an influential periodical with a variety of attractive events and surveys.
