Women and reproductive politics in socialist Yugoslavia
Review by Sara Žerić Đulović
In The New Yugoslav Woman (Indiana University Press, 2025), Branka Bogdan examines reproductive regulation in socialist Yugoslavia between 1945 and 1989, tracing the gap between the postwar constitutional promise of equality and the often painful reality behind the clinic door. Sara Žerić Đulović finds the book methodologically generous, praising its commitment to the history of everyday life.
