Abstract

Rad se bavi međuodnosom organiziranog feminističkog pokreta i zakonodavnih rješenja donesenih u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu, Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama i Francuskoj. Iako se ženski pokret u povijesnom smislu sastojao od tri vala koja su pojedinačno, i u svojoj ukupnosti, težila poboljšati i oživotvoriti prava žena, rad isključivo analizira pravno-povijesni kontekst nastanka i razvoja te pravne posljedice prvog vala čiji je cilj bio ostvarenje formalnopravne jednakosti žena i muškaraca. Rad je posljedično sastavljen od tri bitne cjeline koje kronološki prate razvoj zakonodavnih rješenja u odabranim državama koje su predmet analize, prateći specifične okolnosti društvenog poretka imanentne tim podnebljima. Poseban je naglasak stavljen na pitanje stjecanja prava glasa kao ultimativnog ustavnog i političkog prava, a time i svih povijesnih okolnosti koje su dovele do njegova ostvarenja. Zaključna razmatranja donose komparativni prikaz specifičnosti sva tri pravna poretka i njihovih pojavnih oblika. Također, ranije predstavljene društvene okolnosti dovode se u korelaciju s ekonomskim i pravnim uređenjima, kao i suvremenom feminističkom problematikom.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with the relationship between the organized feminist movement and legislative solutions adopted in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France. The women's movement in the historical sense was consisted of three waves that individually and in their totality aimed to improve and revitalize women's rights. Inspite that, the paper exclusively analyzes the legal-historical context of origin and development and the legal consequences of the first wave. Its goal was the realization of formal legal equality for women and men. Consequently, the paper is composed of three essential units that chronologically follow the development of legislative solutions in the selected countries. Also, the specific circumstances of the social order immanent in those climates are being followed. Special emphasis was placed on the question of acquiring the right to vote as the ultimate constitutional and political right, and thus on all the historical circumstances that led to its realization. The concluding considerations provide a comparative presentation of the specificities of all three legal orders and their manifestations. Also, the previously presented social circumstances are correlated with economic and legal arrangements, as well as contemporary feminist issues.
