Women in Eastern European Post-Socialist Countries
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-74332-5 (ISBN)
Women in Eastern European Post-Socialist Countries: Social, Scientific, and Political Lives explores the role of women in Central and Eastern Europe in bringing about social change, and the obstacles they face in fighting for equality in various areas of life such as science, politics, and reproductive rights.
Against a backdrop of increasing re-traditionalisation of post-socialist societies, and the reinvigoration of patriarchal attitudes, the book presents a timely and important collection. Through chapters authored by academics with different specialities across the social sciences, the book addresses the fundamental areas in which women's determination is already initiating changes, namely politics and diplomacy, science, reproductive rights, and customs resulting from religion.
Women in Eastern European Post-Socialist Countries is of interest to scholars of gender studies, political and social sciences, and contemporary central and eastern European history.
