Although it is quite possible that many will consider this book irreverent or disrespectful of ideas or institutions,the authoris certain that they will also perceive it as a defender of women and their unquestionable transcendence throughout history. The main ideasthe authornow shares publicly, are onesthe authorhas considered for many years: the classification of the 'Eves', the masochistic character of women, the concept of giraffe women, etc. Other ideas appeared afterwards, some at the last moment, asthe authorenjoyed the company of friends, who frequently and generously lend their time to discuss with me their own opinions..the authorbelieves that there is a universal feminine principle just as there is a masculine one, the difference remains in the fact that, from the very beginning of creation, everything about man has already been said and nothing continues to be undisclosed, whereas woman, is an untold story yet to be discovered.

This work is a critical intervention into the archive of female identity; it reflects on the ways in which the Central and Eastern European female ideal was constructed, represented, and embodied in communist societies and on its transformation resulting from the political, economic, and social changes specific to the post-communist social and political transitions.During the communist period, the female ideal was constituted as a heroic mother and worker, both a revolutionary and a state bureaucrat, which were regarded as key elements in the processes of industrial development and production. She was portrayed as physically strong and with rugged rather than with feminized attributes. After the post-communist regime collapsed, the female ideal’s traits changed and instead took on the feminine attributes that are familiar in the West’s consumer-oriented societies. Each chapter in the volume explores different aspects of these changes and links those changes to national security, nationalism, and relations with Western societies, while focusing on a variety of genres of expression such as films, music, plays, literature, press reports, television talk shows, and ethnographic research. The topics explored in this volume open a space for discussion and reflection about how radical social change intimately affected the lives and identities of women, and their positions in society, resulting in various policy initiatives involving women’s social and political roles.

Placing transformistas and misses i
