Women's movements and feminisms [special]
This first issue is devoted to the theme of Women's Movements and Feminisms in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe. While there is an increasing interest in this topic, with some exceptions (e.g. Russia) relatively little has been published in English about the history of women's movements or feminisms in the region on the basis of primary research. Moreover, there is hardly any international comparative research on this topic, either within the region or between countries of this region and other places. This issue contains beside review essays and book reviews the following articles: 'Women's suffrage and revolution in the Russian Empire, 1905-1917' by Rochelle Goldberg Ruthchild : 'Exploring continuities and reconciling ruptures: nationalism, feminism, and the Ukrainian women's movement' by Martha Kichorowska Kebalo : 'Feminism and feminist history-writing in Turkey: the discovery of Ottaman feminism' by Serpil Cakir : 'Between liberal and republican citizenship : feminism and and nationalism in Romania, 1880-1918' by Maria Bucur : 'Making an appearance : the formation of women's groups in Hungary' by Katalin Fábián : 'For women's rights, church, and fatherland : the Lithuanian Catholic Women's Organisation, 1908-1940' by Indre Karciauskaite : 'The Bulgarian Association of University Women, 1924-1950' by Georgeta Nazarska and 'The burden of history : the defeat of second-wave feminism in Greece' by Margaret Poulos. Also in this issue the forum 'Is 'communist feminism' a contradictio in terminis?' with the following articles: 'Communism was a state patriarchy, not state feminism' by Mihaela Miroiu : 'Communism as a vision and practice' by Natalia Novikova : 'Feminims and communism: notes on the Greek case' by Angelika Psarra : 'How should we name the 'women-friendly' actions of state socialism?' by Krassimira Daskalova : 'Chinese communism and Chinese feminism' by Harriet Evans : 'On the political significance of the sexual division of labour' by Elena Gapova : 'Communist feminism : the unfulfilled possibilities of a difficult relationship' by Jane Slaughter and 'Communist feminism' as Oxymoron?
