Marica Nadlišek Bartol

Marica Nadlišek Bartol (1867-1940) studied to become a teacher. She was originally from Trieste, where she first held the position of editor of Slovenka, the first Slovenian publication devoted exclusively to women, in 1897. Marica was a pioneer in the fight for women’s independence. After the end of the First World War, it was in Trieste (at this point included already in the Italian territory) that the first fascist action in Europe took place, the fire at the Narodni Dom (the Slovenian Cultural Centre) in 1920.
