As mentioned in the interwar subsection, Yugoslav Socialists espoused gender equality. They declared that “‘in the course of the socialist revolution, significant results were achieved in advancing the socioeconomic position and role of women.’” Significant advances were in fact made in relation to the female literacy rate, university education, the workplace, and policies regarding divorce, abortion, and maternity leave. The advances made by women, however, were incomplete. Within areas of study and the workplace, women were mostly in traditionally female roles. For instance, “in 1979, 85% of all students in pharmacology were women; in social work, over 87%; and in two-year medical studies, 83%. By contrast, women represented only one-fourth of medical doctors.”
