Women's social exclusion and feminisms : living in parallel worlds? : the Romanian case

Abstract

Eastern feminism and women living in Eastern Europe in the last twenty years have lived their specific distinct realities. While growing gender inequalities affected women during transition, Romanian feminists have faced specific difficulties of their own, both theoretical and practical. How to use Western perspectives to analyze a distinct Romanian gender reality, how to ensure the relevance of analysis through both theoretical positioning and empirical research, these were typical dilemmas during the transition.
