Politics has in the meantime become a tradition, and every year more and
more researches and activists from Eastern Europe come together in Dubrovnik
to discuss women's issues of transitional Eastern Europe and wider.

"Women in History/History Without Women" consists of 16 highly interesting
texts, all of them being in Croatian, English and German language.
