Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0880335106 | ISBN-13: 978-0880335102

Based on extensive primary source material and oral history interviews, this book is the first comprehensive study of Hungarian women's political involvement in post-World War II Hungary. It addresses the impact of the spread of communism and describes how some key organizations gradually ceased to exist and were replaced by a single communist-dominated women's organization. The book includes a case study of women who entered the police force, a profession previously closed to them.
