Join us for the launch of Women’s Labour Activism in Eastern Europe and Beyond (UCL Press, 2025) – a groundbreaking, open access, collectively-written monograph that traces women’s struggles for better working and living conditions across Eastern Europe, Austria, Turkey, and internationally, from the late 19th century to the late 20th century. Co-authored by Selin Çağatay, Mátyás Erdélyi, Alexandra Ghiț, Olga Gnydiuk, Veronika Helfert, Ivelina Masheva, Zhanna Popova, Jelena Tešija, Eszter Varsa, and Susan Zimmermann, the volume is the outcome of the research project ZARAH: Women’s labour activism in Eastern Europe and transnationally, from the age of empires to the late 20th century.
At the event, authors will provide insights into their research for the volume, with commentary by Marcel van der Linden (Univ. of Amsterdam) and Zsófia Lóránd (Univ. of Vienna)
