Bez názvu: mozaika ženských uměleckých aktivit na přelomu tisíciletí
This paper deals with the creation of women’s art and dynamics which this term evokes. We build upon interviews with women artists who create gender non-stereotypical/sensitive art, and concentrate on how their art is/not engaged in the wider societal context. We follow the internal and external dialogues of women artists about the perception of their art, reactions of the audiences and the media and encounter a very specific stance against wholesale labelling in terms of ideological streams. This unwillingn…

Mnohohlasem: Editorský úvod
For its strong informative value and its description of the multifarious activities of pro-women and feminist groups the publication In Multiple Voices (Mnohohlasem) will certainly be welcome reading among the academic, political and activist communities. The book shows that what lies behind the apparent lack of interest among Czech women in feminism is their rejection of the discriminatory “label” from its opponents. “One who names is in a position of superiority to what is named” (I. Noble), and ther…

Leaves, Allowances, and Facilities: Childcare Past and Present
We argue that despite the assumption that there was a cohesive ideology of care during the communist regime, changes in ideologies, institutional settings and practices of childcare came about in Czechoslovakia in different decades. Reasons for post-1989 childcare in Czech society (and other postcommunist countries contradicting declination of male breadwinner) are rooted in past. Current development in Czech society strengthens misrecognition of care and class and gender bias in citizenship.…

The Labour Market and Work-Life Balance in the Czech Republic in Historical Perspective
The chapter is focused on the development of the position of women in the labour market and on the development of the conditions for work-life balance in the workplace historically from the 1950s to the present. We argue that the high employment of women does not automatically imply women’s emancipation and fulfilment of their rights as citizens in a society based on a gender contract with the gendered arrangements of work and care as conflicting spheres. This chapter is based on the study of historical stat…

Social Citizenship and Care in Czech Society
The authors argue that the recognition of care and carers in society requires rethinking of the citizenship paradigm focused on paid work and ideal of the independent individual. The obstacles for gender equity are addressed by examining the social organisation of childcare as a paradigmatic example of male (and also ethnic and class) bias in the construction of social citizenship as it is applied in most European states.…
