AI-generated Abstract

This work examines the intricate intersections of gender and class in post-socialist societies, particularly in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, emphasizing how contemporary political and economic systems have reshaped gender relations since 1989/1991. The book's editors argue for the necessity of class analysis in understanding gender contracts amidst the challenges posed by new right-wing movements against perceived 'gender ideology.' Although some chapters effectively illustrate these dynamics, the overall quality varies, presenting both valuable insights and noted shortcomings.
