What We Mean when We Say … Advancement of the Social Position of Women
Author(s)/Editors Adriana Zaharijević Publisher Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade Institute for Democratic Engagement Southeast Europe, Belgrade Published 2021 ISBN 978-86-80484-75-4 Pages 15 Edition SquareIn this publication, Adriana Zaharijević writes about the position of women in Serbia, and the political requirements for change. The text starts from the premise that in a society that cultivates inequality, its members become accustomed to the attitude of desirability of inequality. This belief is further placed in the context of inequality between men and women. Women in this analysis are not understood uniformly, but synchronously and diachronically. This leads to questioning the empirical data – regarding education, income, labor discrimination, “natural” household duties, natality, violence – on the state of women and men in Serbia.
