In the essay entitled Feminism and art in the nineties, the author describes memories and reflections on what was happening in Ljubljana, Slovenia and beyond. She describes the social reality, the circumstances at the time in the field of art history and the personal experience of being introduced to feminism and women‘s studies. The world of art, and especially art history, was strongly conservative at the time, so connecting the two fields: feminism and art history was a challenging task. The author received her doctorate in the field of feminist art history, participated in the founding of the magazine for women‘s studies Delta and the founding of the contemporary art festival City of Women. The interpretation of art (both past and contemporary) from the perspective of feminist art history was a challenging move in the 1990s, which stirred up the professional public at the time, and at the same time, the pioneering work of individuals in the 1980s and 1990s enabled significant shifts in the understanding of the role of gender in our society.
