Aspasia
The International Yearbook of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern European Women's and Gender History
Aims & Scope
Aspasia is the international peer-reviewed annual of women’s and gender history of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CESEE). It aims to transform European women’s and gender history by expanding comparative research on women and gender to all parts of Europe, creating a European history of women and gender that encompasses more than the traditional Western European perspective. Aspasia particularly emphasizes research that examines the ways in which gender intersects with other categories of social organization and advances work that explores transnational aspects of women’s and gender histories within, to, and from CESEE. The journal also provides an important outlet for the publication of articles by scholars working in CESEE itself. Its contributions cover a rich variety of topics and historical eras, as well as a wide range of methodologies and approaches to the history of women and gender..
Read the founding statement from the first issue of Aspasia here.
Each volume of Aspasia contains: (1) an article section that is sometimes thematic; (2) a discussion Forum (whose topic in most cases will be related to that of the central theme of the volume); (3) and book reviews and essays. In keeping with the current scholarly debates, in conversation with scholars from all over the world, Aspasia will bring to an international audience innovative research and historical analyses. This important innovative publication not only offers valuable materials for easy integration in the teaching of graduate and undergraduate courses on gender, but also provides up-to-date information and analyses on books that focus on women and gender, in particular those published in the languages of this area, which otherwise rarely receive attention in English-language history journals.
