A compendium of one hundred sources, preceded by a short author's bio and an introduction, this volume offers an English language selection of the most representative texts on feminism and women's rights from East Central Europe between the end of the Second World War and the early 1990s. While communist era is the primary focus, the interwar years and the post-1989 transition period also receive attention. All texts are new translations from the original.

The book is organised around themes instead of countries; the similarities and differences between nations are nevertheless pointed out. The editors consider women not only in their local context, but also in conjunction with other systems of thought--including shared agendas with socialism, liberalism, nationalism, and even eugenics.

The choice of texts seeks to demonstrate how feminism as political thought was shaped and organised in the region. They vary in type and format from political treatises, philosophy to literary works, even films and the visual arts, with the necessary inclusion of the personal and the private. Women's political rights, right to education, their role in nation-building, women, and war (and especially women and peace) are part of the anthology, alongside the gendered division of labour, violence against women, the body, and reproduction.

Adela Hincu (Institute of Contemporary History, Ljubljana) researches the history of social sciences, Marxist social thought, and women's intellectual history in Romania and East Central Europe after the Second World War.

Zsofia Lorand is an intellectual historian of feminism in post-WWII state-socialist Eastern Europe.

Katarzyna Stanczak-Wislicz is a social historian working in the Institute of Literary Research, Polish Academy of Sciences.

Jovana Mihajlovic Trbovc is a political scientist dealing with political issues from the perspective of culture studies.
