This bographical dictionary describes the lives, works and
aspirations of more than 150 women and men who were active in, or
part of, women's movements and feminisms in Central, Eastern and
South Eastern Europe. Thus, it challenges the widely held belief
that there was no historical feminism in this part of Europe. These
innovative and often moving biographical portraits not only show
that feminists existed here, but also that they were widespread and
diverse, and included Romanian princesses, Serbian philosophers and
peasants, Latvian and Slovakian novelists, Albanian teachers,
Hungarian Christian social workers and activists of the Catholic
women's movement, Austrian factory workers, Bulgarian feminist
scientists and socialist feminists, Russian radicals,
philanthropists, militant suffragists and Bolshevik activists,
prominent writers and philosophers of the Ottoman era, as well as
Turkish republican leftist political activists and nationalists,
internationally recognized Greek feminist leaders, Estonian
pharmacologists and science historians, Slovenian 'literary
feminists,' Czech avant-garde painters, Ukrainian feminist
scholars, Polish and Czech Senate Members, and many more. Their
stories together constitute a rich tapestry of feminist activity
and redress a serious imbalance in the historiography of women's
movements and feminisms. "A Biographical Dictionary of Women's
Movements and Feminisms: Central, Eastern, and South Eastern
Europe, 19th and 20th Centuries" is essential reading for students
of European women's and gender history, comparative history and
social movements.
