After World War I, there was an increasing need for books intended for adolescent female readership. Girls had nothing with which they could entertain themselves. The people who were becoming aware of the existence of that void were those who were actually in contact with the readers—the publishers. What potentially speaks best about how great the need for an entertaining, sentimental type of literature for girls really was, is the fact that this problem was addressed by several publishers at the same time. Among them was Stjepan Kugli, who launched a publishing series called Biblioteka moje kćerke (My Daughter’s Library), inspired by the French Bibliothèque de ma Fille. The publishing series was comprised of five volumes: novels Madame la Vierge, Pobjeda ljubavi (The Victory of Love), Njegovo dijete (His Child)— (published in two editions—Croatian and Serbian) and Falkland (roman tragične ljubavi): pripovijest u pismima (The Falklands). Of the mentioned novels, only novel Pobjeda ljubavi was written by a Croatian author, Marija Jurić Zagorka. The rest of the novels are translations of foreign language authors. The novels provide us with interesting depictions of various kinds of women, for whom we can easily determine to what degree they fit into their traditional predetermined roles in the society. Girls books were not only a source of entertainment, but also a means of informal education that helped young readers learn about coming-of-age, male-female relationships, the life path of women and, in fact, about everything that yet awaited them in life.
