Introduction

The chapters in Part II invite us to reexamine what feminism means in the different historical and political contexts of Central-Eastern Europe and Eurasia (CEE&E). The types of regimes—monarchies changing to socialism and postcommunism—have affected how women’s and feminist movements vary in form from organized to informal, and how collaborative or divided they act across political ideology, class, nationality/ethnicity, religion, disability, and sexual orientation/identity.
