Gender Mainstreaming and Gender Equality in Europe cover

At a time of intense debate about gender attitudes and equality, this is a welcome review of the pan-European impacts of the theory of gender mainstreaming. The book explores the origins and evolution of the concept, compares and contrasts its influence on legislation, culture and opinions around Europe, and considers its limits in the face of economic and migration challenges.

“Bridging empirical research and social policy issues, this book will enrich academics with new knowledge on legislative aspects of gender equality and make policymakers more familiar with individual attitudes to gender equality and country specifics.” Natalia Soboleva, Higher School of Economics
“This book’s originality lies in the fact that Lomazzi and Crespi combine a critical perspective on EU-wide legislations and policies on gender equality with an empirical investigation on these policies’ impact on regional gender cultures: an important contribution to the multidimensionality of gender equality.” Eva-Maria Schmidt, University of Vienna
