Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-16 00:00:00 Gary Tremaine An excellent analysis of gender, family, and feminism in socialist and postsocialist Eastern Central Europe - Gal and Kligman are clear and concise, although they do assume the reader has some level of knowledge about feminist thought and theory before reading their essay. My only critique is that, rather than examine some examples of early feminist organizing in postsocialism, the authors prefer to critique the nature of feminism as a relevant category in these contexts: this critique is no different from others like Chandra Mohanty and bell hooks, those feminists who challenge "feminism" as a unified, white, western, bourgeois movement. Otherwise the book is a strong argument about the relevance and real-life impacts of gender roles in socialism and in postsocialist attempts to balance welfare states with capitalist economics.
