The dissertation titled The Women’s Issue in the Leskovački glasnik Magazine (1921–1941) aims to examine how the issue of women was represented in the Leskovac weekly Leskovački glasnik, a newspaper focused on trade, crafts, agriculture, education, and social life during the period 1921 – 1941. The purpose of analyzing newspaper articles that deal with the woman’s issue, women's rights, women's emancipation, or that portray women in any context is to demonstrate that newspaper texts, as a practice of signification, are aligned with the cultural and ideological constructs of a patriarchal society. For the purposes of this research, a general scientific method was applied, analyzing relevant literature and previous research in the field. A qualitative content analysis was used for the texts, while a quantitative method served to determine the scope of the representation of women's issue in Leskovački glasnik. The unit of analysis was individual newspaper articles. The main conclusion is that the woman’s issue in Leskovački glasnik (1921–1941) was represented in a stereotypical manner. Male and female experiences were separated by a clear boundary between the public and private spheres. A critical view of the media, media literacy, that is, an understanding of media practices and the ways in which social dogmas are transmitted – combined with an awareness that these are social constructs and not naturally given, constitutes the first step toward a broader perception of social reality and toward understanding identity as a fluid entity, not predetermined by biology or social conventions.
