Many questions arise for feminism and for leftist politics that aims to take gender equality seriously. Can there be a left-wing alternative to the neoliberal political and economic order without considering feminist aspects? What do the human rights paradigm and gender mainstreaming have to do with neoliberalism? What interrelations are there between growing right-wing populism, and the relationship of left-wing and feminist politics to neoliberalism? How does this surface in the context of East-Central Europe where democracy and human rights appeared to be inextricably connected with one of the versions of capitalism? The studies in this volume attempt to find answers to these and other related questions.
