Gender Politics and Post-Communism is the first collection of its kind, presenting original essays by women scholars, politicians, activists, and former dissidents from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The essays discuss gender politics during the turbulent transition and crises of post-communism, offering vivid accounts and analyses of the conditions facing women in each country. The contributors cover such topics as nationalism, economic transformation, women and the state, and what women have gained and lost with the fall of communism, providing the philosophical, economic, historical, cultural, and sociological contexts needed to understand women's position in post-communism and the possibilities for women's activities.
