ZARAH: Women’s labour activism in Eastern Europe and transnationally (Web)

On 26.09.2025 ZARAH launched Women’s Labour Activism – a public history website showcasing the stories of women activists from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe who fought to improve women’s position in the world of work.

The project amplifies their contributions to the struggle for a fairer society. Built on more than five years of academic research, the website uses the possibilities of digital storytelling to present women’s life stories, activism and networks in an accessible, interconnected and richly illustrated way. It is designed for students discovering new topics, activists drawing inspiration from past struggles, teachers and scholars seeking classroom resources and digital historians looking for innovative examples. The goal is for the website to become a reliable and enriching English-language resource for anyone interested in women’s history, labour activism and the region. (Web)
