Market dreams - Elaine Weiner

How have women experienced the transition from socialism to market economy in Eastern Europe? Drawing upon a rich collection of data from focus groups, interviews and textual sources, ""Market Dreams"" conveys the experiences of female managers and factory workers in the Czech Republic as the country moved from socialism to a market democracy. A clear and compelling account, rooted in rigorous sociological research and comparative feminism, Ellen Weiner's book represents a significant advance for the literatures on transition, and on women in Eastern Europe.
