![]() ![]() The purpose of the present article is to attempt an outline of a general trajectory of Czech gender research, its institutional base, and its positioning towards international theoretical discussions on gender since the demise of state socialism. 1 Several articles on post-1989 Czech feminism and feminist discourse appeared in American and European scholarly publications also in the 2000s. The pioneering efforts of the former dissident, the sociologist Jiřina Šiklová, toward the institutionalization of the discipline became almost legendary among both European and North American gender studies communities, while Hana Havelková's early theoretical insights belong, arguably, to the most frequently cited works by a Central East European scholar on gender in post state socialism. Although gender studies began to develop as an academic discipline only after 1989 in Czecho(Slovakia), it gained international reputation already by the mid-1990s, when several Czech and Slovak (by then) feminist scholars contributed to the East-West debates on the relevance of feminism for post-state-socialist societies.
