Title: Love for the Nation in Times of War: Strategies and Discourses of the National and Political Mobilization of Slovene Women in Carinthia from 1917 to 1920
Abstract: In the years before the First World War, national tensions in the Habsburg Monarchy were on the rise. This was also true for Carinthia, a province with a mixed ethnic German- and Slovene-speaking population. According to the census of 1910, the Slovenian-speaking community of the whole province accounted for 21 per cent of the population, but they were under-represented in the upper social strata. Due to an electoral system based on property qualifications, they were, in consequence, politically less influential. With the outbreak of the war, this antagonism increased. Persecutions of Slovenes as allegedly 'pro-Serbian' strengthened their demands for a fundamental reorganization of the Habsburg Empire.
