The article addresses lifestyle- and food-related advice of a magazine Naša žena (Our Woman; in the time period of 1960-1991) and analyses practices of constituting an image of a (socialist) woman – primarily as a mother and housewife – in socialism; the analysis is based on discursive analysis. The authors emphasise complex reality of the category of gender in socialism, which is often simplistically reduced as being ‘liberating’ for women. It was published in internationally acclaimed journal Feminist review (1979- ), with impact factor of 1.550. Its importance lies in the analysis of media products and their influence of gendered positions, in the analysis of complex subtle and direct practices, constituting the position of (socialist) women as inferior, but most importantly, in the analysis of intertwinning of food-related practices, which are dominantly perceived as a manifestation of purely biological functions (nutrition), and social structures (gender) and economic realities (socialism).

Scientific monograph is based on research data, gathered in the framework of Basic projects, titled Intimate lifestyles of Slovenian students, financed by Slovenian Research Agency. The monograph addresses the lack of knowledge regarding intimate lifestyle and sexual behaviour of student population, which is mostly very well researched in other countries, while in Slovenia the focus has been mostly given to high-school population. The monograph places intimate and sexual behaviour within wider social and cultural processes and changes that exceed the boundaries of national states. As such, it is scientifically important not only within Slovenia (in the sense of in-depth insight in sexual lives, values, implications for sexual health etc.), but also for international scientific community as it enables comparison of data between various European studies and analysis of similarities and differences among various national studies.
