Shrnutí:	This paper looks at the writings of Laura Papo Bohoreta and Gordana KuiC, two extraordinary women, aunt and niece, who successively portrayed the position of Sephardic women and the general conditions of Sephardic communities in the Balkans in the second half of the nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth. Papo Bohoreta addressed the myriad challenges faced by Sephardic women during the process of the more or less quick assimilation (depending on the region) of the Sephardim into the majority communities in the Balkans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In creating her documentary and fictional narratives at the threshold of modernity, she never lost sight of their position as historical subjects in the construction and maintenance of Sephardic Jewish identity. Kuic writes in the second half of the twentieth century about those women and their descendants in the times gone by and the present in which she lives, transposed in her fictional narrative. All the narratives presented herein affirm the relevance of women in the construction of a new understanding of female involvement through history: Women have always been active participants in historical and social change, and their gender identity, which has always stood in direct correlation with their ethnicity, religion, education and social class, has to be recognized as an incentive for any type of social action.
