This book launch explores Soviet influences on Yugoslav gender policies, examining how Yugoslav communists interpreted, adapted and used Soviet ideas to change Yugoslav society. The book sheds new light on the role of Soviet models in producing Yugoslav family and reproductive laws, and in framing the understandings of gender which affected key policies such as the collectivization of agriculture, labour policies, policies towards Muslim populations, and policies concerning youth sexuality. This event is free and welcome to all!
