Feminist Challenge to the Socialist State in Yugoslavia

​This book tells the story of new Yugoslav feminism in the 1970s and 1980s, reassessing the effects of state socialism on women's emancipation through the lens of the feminist critique. This volume explores the history of the ideas defining a social movement, analysing the major debates and arguments this milieu engaged in from the perspective of the history of political thought, intellectual history and cultural history.
Twenty-five years after the end of the Cold War, societies in and scholars of East Central Europe still struggle to sort out the effects of state socialism on gender relations in the region. What could tell us more about the subject than the ideas set out by the only organised feminist opposition in the region, who, as academics, artists, writers and activists, criticised the regime and demanded change?

Aceasta carte spune povestea noului feminism iugoslav din anii 1970 si 1980, reevaluand efectele socialismului de stat asupra emanciparii femeilor prin prisma criticii feministe. Acest volum exploreaza istoria ideilor care definesc o miscare sociala, analizand principalele dezbateri si argumente in care s-a angajat acest mediu din perspectiva istoriei gandirii politice, a istoriei intelectuale si a istoriei culturale. La 25 de ani de la sfarsitul Razboiului Rece , societatile si cercetatorii din Europa Centrala si de Est inca se lupta sa rezolve efectele socialismului de stat asupra relatiilor de gen din regiune.
