This highly original book provides a social, cultural, and political history of Slavic Muslim women of the Yugoslav region in the first decades of the post-Ottoman era based on a study of voluntary associations (philanthropic, cultural, Islamic-traditionalist, and feminist). It is broadly held that Muslim women were silent and relegated to a purely private space until 1945, when the communist state "unveiled" and "liberated" them from the top down. After systematic archival research in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, and Austria, Fabio Giomi challenges this view by showing: 1) How different sectors of the Yugoslav elite (men and women, Muslims and non-Muslims), through association publications, imagined the role of Muslim women in post-Ottoman times, and how Muslim women took part in the construction or the contestation of these narratives.2) How associations employed different means, such as private schools, scholarships, student dormitories, workshops, and festive happenings in order to forge a generation of "New Muslim Women" able to cope with the post-Ottoman political and social circumstances.3) How Muslim women used the tools provided by the associations in order to pursue their own projects, aims and agendas.

"Le livre de Fabio Giomi sur les débats intra- et intercommunautaires sur « la femme musulmane » en Bosnie et la manière dont les associations musulmanes, les partis politiques, les réformistes et les traditionalistes musulmans ont puisé dans les mêmes discours et symboles transnationaux afin de lier la discussion de la nation à celle de la femme, sera d’un grand intérêt pour les spécialistes de l’ex-Yougoslavie et pour les historien.nes de l’espace post-ottoman et post-habsbourgeois en général. Il démontre clairement que les femmes musulmanes n’ont pas seulement réagi aux opportunités offertes par l’indépendance, elles ont façonné par leurs discours et leurs actes le discours genré sur leur nouvelle société."
