Summary/Abstract: The first part of the paper presents the concept of digital humanities and thephases which some researchers note in the development of the humanities in new,digital media, as well as the role of digital humanities in the promotion of the marginalized literatures, above all, literature written by women. The core example is the digital database Knjiženstvo, certain segments of which contain not only the data on the texts, but the digitized texts, as well. In this paper, we pose the question on how databases can be involved in creating new knowledge at all educational levels. Thus we reach the necessity of expanding some segments of the database to include those publications on which they already contain information. In relation to this, it has been observed that one of the greatest problems is the part of the database dealing with the periodicals, women and feminist, and therefore, the second part of the paper is dedicated to this topic. We first analyze the terms women and feminist magazines, and afterwards, we consider the ways in which the materials from these periodicals could be gathered, classified and connected.
