Feminism In Poland
Feminism in Poland describes a collection of movements in Poland working to expand gender equality. Although there are instances of feminist ideas in Poland–most prominently in the expansion of women’s rights under state socialism, the role of women in the fall of communism and the conservative revolution after 1989–feminism as a concept is primarily written off either as an individualistic Western ideal or part of communist ideology.
