Volume 6 2012
A Hundred Years of International Women's Day in CESE
The year 2010 marked the centennial of International Women's
Day (IWD); the year 2011 marked the centennial of its first
celebrations, which took place in Austria, Denmark, Germany,
partitioned Poland, Switzerland, and no doubt other places.
Inspired by these events, the theme section of this volume deals
with "A Hundred Years of International Women's Day in Central,
Eastern and Southeastern Europe," with articles focusing on Russia,
the Polish lands, and Greece. These three articles discuss the
different meanings of and narratives about IWD, its changing
agendas, the different forms of cooperation and contestation that
surrounded its celebrations, and the various ways in which it has
been remembered, which are all related to the changing historical
context. This volume's other sections include a review on the book
Frauentag (Women's Day ), a collection of essays that accompanied
an exhibition in Vienna on the occasion of IWD's first centennial;
and the News and Miscellanea section features a report on recent
IWD-related events in Ukraine, including two exhibitions.
