It highlights the deepseated gender stereotypes that define women primarily as wives and mothers, with electoral politics seen as an appropriate activity for men, but less so for women. The article explores the ways in which conservative attitudes on gender roles hinders the supply of, and demand for, women in the politics of Central and Eastern Europe. It also discusses the manner in which the internalisation of traditional gender norms affects women's parliamentary behaviour, as few champion women's rights in the legislatures of the region. The article also finds that links between women MPs and women's organisations are weak and fragmented, making coalition-building around agendas for women's rights problematic.

Indeed the overall gender gap for the new member states is 11.4% compared to a EU15 gap of 16.5% (table 1.4). The highest gender gaps in the new member states are found in countries with high female employment rates, namely Cyprus and the Czech Republic (except for Malta and its astronomical gap of over 40% caused by the very low integration of women into its economy). With the exception of Malta, all other gender gaps range from around 5% to a high of less than 19%, compared to a range from 4% in Sweden and Finland to highs of 27 to 28% in Greece, Spain, Italy and Luxembourg. Between 2000 and 2003 the gender gaps in employment have closed slightly in both the EU15
