Aspasia
Aspasia is the international peer-reviewed annual of women’s and gender history of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CESEE). It aims to transform European women’s and gender history by expanding comparative research on women and gender to all parts of Europe, creating a European history of women and gender that encompasses more than the traditional Western European perspective. Aspasia particularly emphasizes research that examines the ways in which gender intersects with other categories of social organization and advances work that explores transnational aspects of women’s and gender histories within, to, and from CESEE. The journal also provides an important outlet for the publication of articles by scholars working in CESEE itself. Its contributions cover a rich variety of topics and historical eras, as well as a wide range of methodologies and approaches to the history of women and gender.

Issues of Aspasia
Aspasia’s main goal is to stimulate innovative interdisciplinary historical research about women and gender in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, parts of Europe where the field of women’s and gender history has developed unevenly and remained marginally represented in the ‘international’ canon. In particular, we hope that‘European women’s history’ will come to mean more than Western European women’s history—which is still often the case, and that the work published in Aspasia will contribute to the expansion of comparative historical research on women and gen deracross Europe. This is not simply a matter of making the case studies presented here visible, but rather integrating, as done by the authors in this volume, original research with analysis that takes into account existing scholarship on women’s and gender history, and also examines critically the assumptions of this historiography.
