Feminist Perspectives on Politics considers how feminist perspectives have considerably broadened the scope of what is considered 'political'. Themes and issues covered range from nineteenth century debates around women's equality and liberation, to twentieth century arguments and activities towards gaining a more nuanced understanding of women's differences and diversity. ' Difference' remains a key term in contemporary feminisms, and the author examines debates engendered from women's liberation politics to open up discussion of Black feminisms, lesbian politics and disabled feminist agendas. Formal political participation and the impact of women's movement politics are assessed in global comparisons as are the debates surrounding discourses on 'development' and transnational politics, and the influence of women at local, national and international levels.The book will be essential reading for students at all levels across the fields of Politics, Women's Studies, Sociology, History, Cultural Studies, Political Economy and 'Development' Studies more generally (such as in studies concerned with anti-racism, gender, social policy and the history of ideas within educational institutions, local government and voluntary organisations)

First Published in 1997. A collection of contributions from feminist researchers who attended the annual Women's Studies Network WSN conference in June 1995. Emphasizing theory, practice and campaigning, chapters seek to address contemporary issues from different perspectives - theoretical, practical and strategic.

Vast changes within East and Central Europe since 1989 have brought countries in this region, including Hungary, under sharp focus. This important study of women''s situation within the changing context of Hungarian society gives a comprehensive overview of the various factors which make up women''s lives. Rather than experiencing social radicalism in the 1960s, women in Hungary were experiencing the full effects of their rigid, authoritarian statist policies. What this meant for their everyday lives is considered in terms of women''s paid and unpaid work, family ideologies, social policy innovations, women''s health care, changing attitudes, and women''s hopes and aspirations. Against the background of new openings on the political scene, questions concerning civil society and space for women''s agendas are vital.
