Female students from Carniola at the University of Vienna between 1897 and 1918

The paper investigates Carniolian (Slovene) pioneer female students who studied at the University of Vienna, Austria between 1897 and 1918. In addition to empirical data, it provides some views on the development of women's emancipation in Austria-Hungary. After the First World War, this emancipation was frequently obstructed or at least questioned. On the basis of archival material from the University of Vienna Archives, the author analyzes the following: biographical data of the students (name, age, religious belief, and kinship ties); their linguistic and ethnic origin; social and local origin; course of study; payment of tuition fees; scholarship, etc. His personal approach to the subject provides an interesting, and particularly valuable, story about academic life of the first Carniolan female students at the University of Vienna. //ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: Pricujoca razprava obravnava prisotnost kranjskih (slovenskih) studentk - pionirk na dunajski univerzi med letoma 1897 in 1918.
