IDEOLOGEMA NOVE ŽENE U TEKSTOVIMA REBEKE VEST U THE NEW FREEWOMAN
The Ideologeme of the New Woman in Rebecca West’s Articles in The New Freewoman

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the conceptualisation of the New Woman ideology within the context of Rebecca West’s works published in The New Freewoman magazine. Through the analysis of Rebecca West’s contributions such as travelogues, literary criticism, and personal essays in the context of feminism and modernism of the early twentieth century, the conclusion arises that her conception of the New Woman is deeply rooted in the philosophy of individualism championed by that magazine. The text also explores themes of female physicality, resistance to religious and moral dogmas, and the relationship between the individual and the broader social context. With this in mind, the New Woman stands out as a fluid term emerging in the twentieth century periodicals through the interweaving of different sociopolitical and philosophical tendencies.
