Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Historian Maria Bucur and philosopher Mihaela Miroiu beautifully capture the anxieties, ambiguities, and opportunities faced by women in contemporary Romania. The book is an excellent primer on the unique ways that the transition from state socialism to free market democracy has impacted the lives of ordinary women. It is a qualitative gem."
