'This significant collection of essays is the product of truly transnational networking and scholarly cooperation. In demonstrating the complexity and diversity of strategies for women's agency and empowerment in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, this volume makes a substantive contribution to discussions about participatory citizenship. It is an important sourcebook for all scholars and students of gender and democratization.'

The Russian Review '... the diversity of the authors' backgrounds and of their approaches make this volume an excellent product of scholarly cooperation...'
