Working Class Women’s Activism in Socialist Yugoslavia: An Exploration of Archives from Varaždin, Croatia

Ioana Cîrstocea, La fin de la femme rouge ? Fabriques transnationales du genre après la chute du Mur: Rennes, Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2019

It also looks at the local application of the concept of gender to the post-socialist context of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, where it took a “life of its own” during the processes of internationalization, democratization and …

As a result of the Soviet-Yugoslav split, Yugoslavia was expelled from the Women’s International Democratic Federation (WIDF), the main organization feder…

Kristen Ghodsee. Second World, Second Sex: Socialist Women’s Activism and Global Solidarity during the Cold War
“A whole history of leftist women’s activism gets ignored in the mainstream narratives of feminism, and this book adds only one little piece to a much larger universe of stories that need to be told,” writes Kristen Ghodsee, adding soon after that her book Second World, Second Sex: Socialist Women’s Activism and Global Solidarity during the Cold War “is also intended as a political act of resistance against an entrenched narrative that downplays …

Zarana Papic (1949-2002), two founders of women's studies in the region, who were also among the organisers of the first international women's studies seminar, held in Portoroz in 1976 and of the first …

Introduction: Television and the Fictional Rewriting of History in Italy’s ‘Second Republic
In this special section of The Italianist, we focus on the fictional rewritings of Italian history on television in the period of the Second Republic, paying particular attention to the format of the miniserie, usually a three-hour (two-episode) long series which in Italy is associated with prestige, high production values and craftsmanship, making history not only attractive for the beholder, but also a commercial success
Red Girls' Revolutionary Tales: Antifascist Women's Autobiographies in Italy
This essay focuses on recent autobiographies written by Italian women born in the 1920s who engaged in revolutionary politics during and after the Second World War: Luciana Castellina ( La scoperta del mondo, 2011), Bianca Guidetti Serra ( Bianca la rossa, 2009), Marisa Ombra (La bella politico, 2010), Marisa Rodano ( Del mutare dei tempi, 2008) and Rossana Rossanda (La ragazza del secolo scorso, 2005).

Gendering Post-Socialist Transition. Studies of Changing Gender Perspectives
Since the mid-1990s feminist and post-socialist studies scholars have underlined the gendered character of post-socialist transitions in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The literature on
Former east, former west: Post-socialist nostalgia and feminist genealogies in today’s Europe
This paper connects current studies of post-socialist nostalgia to the issue of feminist genealogies in the contemporary European context. Studies of post-socialist nostalgia can prove significant not only for the former socialist East - to which they have traditionally been limited - but also for the “former West”, that is post-Cold War Western Europe. In the first part of my paper I draw a connection between feminist genealogies and post-social…
