| 1. | Women Empowered? Reflections on Women’s Conception of Autonomy in Communist Romania | 01:12:40 | Maria Bucur | 3/22/2012 | This presentation reflects on ways in which women who lived under communism in Romania identified their lives, actions, and aspirations along feminist lines, but without the feminist jargon used by their Western counterparts at the time. Aspirations linked to personal autonomy, economic empowerment, and reactions against sexism in public and private life will be presented as evidence of a feminist ethos among women in Romania. | Russian and East European Institute | English |  |
