From Criticism to a Trade Union Fight. The Transformation of the Feminist Movement in Poland between 2006 and 2007
Abstract
The text deals with the transformation of the Polish feminist movement between 2006–2007, in which period the movement went beyond the critics of the culture and expanded its area of interest to include economic issues. This helped to broke the elitism of the feminist movement and the cooperation with trade unions had made it possible to reach a larger group of women. It also had allowed the feminist movement to improve the effectiveness of its actions and to become a stronger political actor. Moreover, the text illustrates a gradual formalization of the movement and at the same time indicates positive results that are produced by maintaining an informal character of its actions.
