„Soukromé je politické“: Feministické střípky z československého umění šedesátých až osmdesátých let dvacátého století

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show examples of feminist art in relation to contemporary gender policies and political situation in socialist Czechoslovakia from the 1960s to the 1980s. Czechoslovak gender policies that enabled women to access employment opportunities in the 1950s simultaneously led to their high over-employment that was not resolved during the period of state socialism. The conflicting relationship between the role of mother and working woman therefore became one of the main topics of the feminist art production of that time.
