Comment:
A Path of their Own invites you to visit the towns and villages that were home to the first women artists, politicians, lawyers, teachers, journalists, doctors, and entrepreneurs who have paved the way to a professional life for women on Slovenian territory. It presents women revolutionaries who had fought for a decent life, and the first women to make a living by doing paid work as factory workers, farmers and maids. As many of them left no material traces, the book adds unusual scenery, such as a public square, a bridge, a botanical garden, a homestead, and an inn, to the mix of the more expected attractions, such as castles, museums, and galleries.
