“Real Socialism” and the Challenge of Gender

Edited by Sandrine Kott and Françoise Thébaud

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, people have rather forgotten how women and men lived in the countries governed by Communist parties, often described as countries under “real socialism”. This issue, which contains articles on the former USSR, Mongolia, various European states after 1945, China and Cuba, seeks to respond to two questions: how, and to what extent, did socialism, theoretically committed to an egalitarian Utopia, modify gender relations? And what might a gendered approach enable us to understand about socialism?
