This book is a must read for researchers and students interested in
the intersection of gender and democracy in newly democratic
states, as well as the role of supranational entities such as the
EU in transforming the norms and practices in member states.

Readers of this book will gain a broad overview of the main themes
affecting women's political participation in post socialist Europe,
and hopefully it will whet the appetite for further exploration of
the many nuances and differences which are also evident in the
region.

There has been a steady stream of scholarship on gender and
politics in post-communist states indemocratic transition, but this
book combines serious empirical research with a normative
consideration of gender equality. It is an impressive
cross-national survey of post-socialist states, utilising an array
of qualitative and quantitative data to build a convincing argument
about the complex interplay of culture, institutions, and agency
effects upon gender politics, yet with the stated intent of giving
voice to politically engaged women in these countries. [...]
This is a compelling account of the history of the women's movement
in post-socialist Europe, and a very useful contribution to the
scholarship of gender equality in political institutions.
