The Politics of Gender Culture under State Socialism by Hana Havelkov
Though there has been much research on the incomplete emancipation project of state socialism in Central East Europe, very little has been published on how the state and its institutions conceived of gender as a concept. This book seeks to understand if and how this conceptualization developed in the second half of the 20th century, and what impact it had on everyday life and on culture."This book of Czech experts on gender culture and politics during state socialism proposes a significant new view on life within a totalitarian regime in Central EuropeFocusing not only on ideology and politics but on social practice as well, the book is an important contribution to understanding the gap between official ideology and everyday life during particular stages of state socialism. The results of the newest research presented in the book significantly add to our understanding of former state socialist countries and totalitarian systems in general"
