Abstract
The significant role of women in the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia was reflected in partisan comics, which developed in socialist Yugoslavia mainly during the 1960s. It is evident that the traditional design of female characters in comics tends to cater to the male reader (in the sense of the term "male gaze"). Since the authors of partisan comics were primarily men, there is a special conflict on an aesthetic-values level between a strong masculine tradition on the one hand, and a female struggle that is not only anti-fascist but also emancipatory on the other. Therefore, it is interesting to research what the results of the fusion of these two admittedly contradictory principles look like. In this case, I aim to propose a typology of female characters, taking into account the changes in the partisan genre in comics that occurred in connection with social changes in Yugoslavia from the 1950s to the end of the 1980s.
