Abstract: The paper analyzes the development of neofeminism in Yugoslavia as a socialist and non-aligned country with self-management as the dominant mode of social organization. We set out to examine to what extent this social and political background influenced the appearance of neofeminism in the early 1960s, its development, transformations and branching out into different forms and eventual decline in the late 1980s. It is our contention that in the late-socialist culture in Yugoslavia, feminist theory was present from the 1960s to 1980s in different forms. Yugoslav female and male authors openly debated and wrote about feminist issues, they were also influenced by numerous translations of the works of feminist authors. The paper discusses two main branches of Yugoslav neofeminism: socialist neofeminism and Marxist neofeminism. In conclusion, we reflect upon the legacy of neofeminism in Serbia as a post-Yugoslav society.
