%T Women and Social Transformation in Central-Eastern Europe: The 'Old Left' and the 'New Right' %A Ferge, Zsuzsa %J Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review %N 2 %P 159-178 %V 5 %D 1997 %K Europe %= 2009-03-17T16:12:00Z %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-54208 %X Draws on a variety of statistical data to discuss how the postcommunist transformation in Central & Eastern Europe is affecting the social & economic situation of women, concluding that a consistent leftist family & gender agenda has never been articulated. It is argued that women's educational & labor market opportunities were improved under state socialism, but family policy was streaked with conservatism & implemented in a top-down manner that discouraged women's political participation & power. During transformation, conservative trends & economic hardship are negatively impacting women in the areas of economic participation, reproductive rights, & social policy. Poverty among women & children is growing. Opportunity exists in the form of new civil & political rights, but, to date, women have not organized around their interests in substantial numbers. %C MISC %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
