Important woman Maria Maister

On February Maister’s evening, Marija Maister will present by dr. Vlasta Stavbar and mag. Majda Potrata. Maria Maister was not just Maister’s wife, but a real national lady; an image that marked Maribor’s public life. The lecture can be included in a series of efforts to illuminate the role of women in public life and thus with their contribution to the development and progress of Slovenian society. Among the meritorious co-workers of Slovenian civil society in the 1920s and 1930s, Maria Maister was also included, who entered the public in 1904 in the poetry of Rudolf Maister as Marica. Since her work is not well known, the purpose of the lecture is to present the related material stored in the University Library Maribor and the Provincial Archives of Maribor, as well as her activities in cultural, humanitarian and educational societies and societies that were involved in current social issues and the consolidation of national consciousness along the northern border.
