The volume is a selection of the most incisive analyses related to the issues of gender and social transition that appeared in the pages of the quarterly . The articles look at what was happening to women in the changing East European societies and propose new perspectives on the history of the region. Articles cover many countries and come from a period of twelve years – 1994 to 2006 – when the efforts of introducing gender into East European studies were most intense. The volume shows the trajectory leading from the introduction of the lens of gender into the East European studies to the moment at which the tools of gender analysis were applied without apology to the research on East European politics, law, history, culture and economy.weiterlesen
