Abstract

This article explores the branches of the International Federation of University Women (IFUW) in the interwar period and up to the early 1950s as feminist organisations on the Balkans gathered women intellectuals with various fields of expertise and devoted its initial efforts to equal rights of education and professional career. By means of historical and social network analysis the associations of university women in Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey and their as attempt to create a scientific network of women academics on the peninsula are studied. The main question is to discuss whether or not the Balkan associations of university women were organizations which supported women’s movement against the segregation in the University and the museums, which promoted their scientific work in domestic institutions, which assisted them before public prejudices, which gave them opportunities to make contacts with colleagues abroad, and which provide them with scholarships. The analysis of the Balkan associations is made with a comparison with similar women’s scientific networks in the Western Europe.

(联合国)建立的学术和科学网络:巴尔干地区国际大学妇女联合会分支机构(1920-1950年)

本文探讨了国际大学妇女联合会(IFUW)在两次世界大战之间的分支机构，直到20世纪50年代初，巴尔干半岛的女权主义组织聚集了各个专业领域的女性知识分子，并将其最初的努力用于教育和职业生涯的平等权利。通过历史和社会网络分析，研究了保加利亚、罗马尼亚、南斯拉夫、希腊和土耳其的大学妇女协会及其在半岛建立妇女学者科学网络的努力。主要问题是讨论巴尔干大学妇女协会是否属于下列组织:支持妇女反对大学和博物馆内的种族隔离运动，促进她们在国内机构的科学工作，在公众偏见面前帮助她们，使她们有机会与国外同事接触，并向她们提供奖学金。对巴尔干协会的分析与西欧类似的妇女科学网络进行了比较。
