Beschreibung
This edited volume examines the new reality of women’s exclusion from socio-political life in post-socialist states. As right-wing populism rises across the globe, these women who fought for their voting rights for years are once again being squeezed into traditional roles and marginalized in the public space. Chapters address women’s exclusion from political leadership, education, scientific development, pay gaps, social security, and healthcare across different post-socialist countries. Through comparative analysis of Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia, and Belarus, this book not only highlights the convergence of issues but also explores solutions that have been developed in one country and may be implemented elsewhere. This book offers hope and demonstrates how a liberal democracy strengthened through equality and inclusion can counter the rise of neo-conservatism populism. It will be of interest to researchers in gender studies, politics and international relations, and feminist theory.
