Obiteljskopravni položaj žena u Hrvatskoj u razdoblju od 1914. do 2014. godine.

The main aim of this paper is to show legal position of women in Croatia in the turbulent centenary period, from the beginning of the First World War in 1914. until 2014., when new Family law is applied. In order to better present this theme the paper gives a brief review of family law position of women in previous periods, from medieval statutes (the one being analyzed is The Statute of Dubrovnik) until Austrian General Civil Code. Significantly, after Second World War, like almost everywhere in the world, women in Croatia also got a chance to prove themselves as separate and independent individuals, and a profound evolution of roles within the family began that continues to this day. A special review is given to the analysis of position of women as spouses and mothers (with author's enclosure that women are much more than "just" spouses and mothers, but that in the field of family law those are their the most important roles) by analysing regulations of then valid Constitutions and family legislation and some specific laws that were introduced for purpose of protection of women in the recent times. The intent of author is to show problems with which women were dealing with in everyday's, both in public and private life, and to present that there is always a huge discrepancy between positive legal solutions and the way how they are in being used in the reality.
