Introduction: Borders, rights and duties -- Women's differing idendities in a europe of contested boundaries. The collapse of authoritarian regimes in Eastern Europe and recent uncertainties about the future direction and membership of the European Community have had a profound impact on the lives of millions of women. In this timely and important book feminists from across Europe draw on their diverse experiences to address the key issues of race, nationalism, sexual politics and the future of the Left. Their contrasting histories and the current economic and politic turmoil sometimes makes dialogue between feminists from the East and the West difficult but also gives it an added urgency.
