Natalia Jarska, in collaboration with Dr. Annina Gagyiova (Institute of History, Czech Academy of Sciences) under the WEAVE initiative.Abstract of the research projectDoes knowledge production contribute to the development of gender equality activism? What knowledge about women’s problems in labor, housework, and health was created by women experts in post-war Central and Eastern Europe? How did their research uncover existing gender inequalities and stereotypes about women’s roles? Which solutions did female experts propose to improve the situation of women in society? Did the knowledge they created prompt them to participate in the public debate on women’s issues? How did the knowledge circulate among female experts from different countries? Who were the women who devoted their research careers to women’s issues? Did, under the conditions of the communist state, which restricted the possibility of association, networks of women experts play a role in feminist activism?We want to seek answers to these questions by conducting historical research on the biographies and expertise of selected female experts in three communist countries of East Central Europe: Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary.
