Although a great book, be prepared it's a very broadly based book with a focus on underlying trends and at times, a bit heavy. If you're looking for specifics pertaining to Eastern/Central European countries, it'll be difficult to find. It's best suited for someone who is looking for information to back up what they already know because without some fundamental knowledge you will fall asleep. It's a fairly short book but because it can be dense if u're not into it, it can take a bit to read. But it is a great book in an area of study that lacks research so I highly recommend it if the topics of gender and/or socialism interest you.

Gal and Kligman offer an engaging and clear review of the state of current research on gender in post-socialist countries. They focus on theoretical themes that point the way towards future research in both post-socialist countries and elsewhere. Their analysis is specific enough to give a good feel for the situation in Eastern Europe and Russia and be of interest to students and specialists of the area. However, the thematic analysis is broad enough to be of great use to anyone interested in gender. I highly recommend it.
