Comrade First, Baba Second: State Violence against Women in Communist Romania

History of Communism in Europe 8:63-86 (2017)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The paper focuses on the manifestations of structural and symbolic violence against women during the communist regime by addressing the most important mechanisms and embedded beliefs that allowed the proliferation of spousal violence in communist Romania, in what I see as a continuation of the interwar patriarchal state, and a bridge to the new discriminatory policies developed by the democratic structures, after 1990.
