Political Activity of Women in Eastern Europe

Abstract

There are significant differences in the tradi tions of the countries of eastern Europe. While political rights for women have been included in the constitutions of each of these countries, this does not mean they have been implemented fully. In the professional and political fields, the progress of women has been very important since World War II. But their professional activities are ahead of the political. The experience gained in the course of the rapid industrializa tion which provided new tasks for women has made them con sider anew the problems of equal rights of women: not as women's assimilation in the world of men, but as a re-evaluation of their potentialities.
