Abstract

In this book, the philosopher Yvanka Raynova compiled the results of four studies as well as the transcripts of nine interviews. Feminist philosophy in Europe after the ‘turn’ of 1989 is the topic of all of them. The author describes earlier research and conceptions and connects them to the social backgrounds and questions of communication between ‘feminists from the West’ and ‘eastern European researchers in the field of women’s studies’. This book poses important research questions and dares to offer remarkable analyses that sometimes could, however, be more detailed and updated.
