»Involvement. Participation. Injustice. Women and the UstaSa Movement«: The book details for the first time the political stances and courses of action taken by female activists of the Croatian fascist UstaSa Movement, as women were also deeply entrenched in the founding, formation and therefore the crimes committed by the Independent State of Croatia between 1941-1945. From a dual perspective of how women were seen by the UstaSa and which roles they actually played, the author explores which feminine ideals were propagated by the UstaSa state and to what extent women fulfilled them. Interviews with prominent members of the UstaSa Movement have furthermore shed light on how female supporters of the UstaSa Movement look back on and evaluate their past.
