From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minka Govekar (28 October 1874 – 10 April 1950) was a Slovene teacher, translator, and campaigner for women's rights.[1]
Minka Govekar was born in Trebnje in 1874. Completing her education at Ljubljana from 1889 to 1893, she qualified as a teacher in 1895 and married in 1897.[1]
In 1926 Govekar edited Slovenska žena (Slovenian Woman), a collection of articles on women in different periods of Slovenian history and different creative professions:
Slovenska ženska is the first Slovenian collection of women's essays and we take it to be a sort of a blueprint for some future thorough monograph about the suffering, striving and strife of Slovenian women.[2]
In her own contribution to the collection, an essay on women authors,[3] Govekar provided information on Fanny Hausmann, Jospina Turnograjska, Lujica Pesjak, Pavlina Pajkova, Marica Nadlišek Bartol, Marica II Strnad Cizarljeva and Zofka Kveder-Demetrovic.[2]
