Blažena Despot published a monograph, The Woman Question and Self-Management, in 1987, the book is a result of the age-old consideration of the issue of women's rights and the genesis of the woman question in history, which was reflected in the social relations in socialist Yugoslavia, to which Marxism gave the final seal. In this book, Despot placed the woman question into the context of Marxism and socialist self-management, that is, within the theoretical concept of "Marxist feminism," whose role she sees as a struggle for more women to work on jobs that are not poorly paid and require higher or high qualifications, jobs and salaries that would enable them to support themselves.
In the Woman and Society Feminist Collection there is a presentation by Blaženka Despot, entitled "Marxist Feminism," which forms one of the earlier foundations for the book The Woman Question and Self-Management.
