Gender Structuring of Contemporary Slovenia - 9 (New Edition.)

This volume offers a new view on gender structuring in contemporary Slovenia and the persistence of the gender order - produced and reproduced through gender regimes in education, work, family life and politics.

With a focus on the low presence of women in politics, the study analyses empirical data, mapping structural changes, delays of changes and the persistence of existing social structures over several decades.

It appears that the choices individuals make in their lives are made in a specific social context of structural opportunities and obstacles.

As such, gender difference is first socially produced and later universally used for justification of that stratification.
