Contents Introduction : gender, rights, and the limits of equality in Czechoslovakia -- Masaryk, feminism, and democracy in the Czech lands -- The fight over the Czechoslovak civil code -- One family, one nation : the problem of married women's citizenship -- Women in the civil service -- Abortion politics in interwar Czechoslovakia -- Women and politics in the Czech lands after Munich -- The limits of citizenship in the people's democracy
Summary "Through extensive original research, Melissa Feinberg assembles a compelling account of how early Czech progress in women's rights, tied to democratic reforms, eventually lost momentum in the face of political challenges facing the state in a young republic. Elusive Equality offers a prism to help sharpen our view of the evolution of twentieth-century European democracy and provides a cautionary tale for all who want to see democratic governments thrive."--Jacket
