It aims to transform European women\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">Read the founding statement from the first issue of Aspasia <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.berghahnbooks.com\/_uploads\/asp\/asp_statement.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #595a5c;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, September 4th, is the anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, where over 4,750 delegates from several countries were in attendance.
