It is interesting that she had already noticed the division in society when professions
are concerned, so she was very excited when in the newspapers she would find ar-
ticles on successful women who excelled in areas that were considered “male-only”.
She would cut them out and collect them in her notebook. (FP–2)
The social consequences of the actors’ feminist activities are clear-
ly noted; successful entry into male-only professions, LGBT rights ac-
tivism in the case of Billie Jean King, and the fact that the Croatian pi-
lot Katarina Matanović saw Amelia Earhart as her female role-model in a
profession that remains predominantly male even today.
In the end, she became an ardent LGBT rights activist, all the while advocating
women’s rights with the same passion. She struck a blow to chauvinism which it has
never recovered from. (FP–1)
Ultimately, she inspired the first Croatian female pilot Katarina Matanović Ku-
lenović, who is, in turn, today celebrated in a series of children’s picture books such
as “Goodnight stories for young girl rebels”. (FP–2)
In this sort of approach to presenting media content, the words fem-
inism and feminist are explicitly mentioned in the text.
The renowned New York Times wrote that she did more for women in that tennis
match than most feminists do in their entire lives. (FP–1)
Even if the real truth about her fate never comes out, there is no doubt that Amelia
is a true hero and feminist role model to women around the world. (FP–2)
The educational approach affirmatively covers the topic, and cov-
ering topics according to discourse belongs to the second-wave of liber-
al feminism because the topic is approached in a way which does not con-
nect women to the home or family sphere (Lončarević, 2011) but through
speaking about their public activity, clearly stressing gender hierarchy,
pointing out discrimination and saying how necessary is individualism
and the public activity of women in fighting for their rights.
Female Politicians and Feminism
The framework of writing on the relationship of feminism and female
politicians, unlike educational feminism, does not contain almost any-
thing explicitly feminist. Instead, the activities of female politicians are
approached from the level of news stories on their daily or commemora-
tive activities which are apparently considered “feminist” enough them-
selves. It should be pointed out that only one of the collected articles deals
with the relationship between politicians and feminism.
