Post-Stalinist backlash in Poland
The article focuses on women’s situation in post-Stalinist Poland.

In the case of Poland, the backlash concerned changes in women’s participation in the labour market and the discourses concerning the social roles they were expected to assume. Interpreted from this perspective, the post-Stalinist backlash was an element of a new strategy designed to legitimize the power of the communist leadership. Restoring the traditional gender order, where women were associated with the private sphere, family and household was a way of demonstrating the national and traditional nature of the authorities. As a result of this backlash, the situation of Polish women was defined by the ambiguous co-existence of emancipation and traditionalism. Cet article analyse la situation des femmes dans la Pologne post-stalinienne à partir de la notion féministe de backlash utilisée par Susan Faludi à propos de l’Amérique des années 1980. Dans le cas polonais, le backlash concerne la participation des femmes au marché du travail et les discours sur les rôles sociaux qu’elles doivent assumer. Il est un élément d’une nouvelle stratégie de légitimation du pouvoir communiste qui donne la preuve de son caractère national et traditionnel en restaurant un ordre de genre en matière de sphère privée et de famille. Avec comme conséquence le fait que la situation des femmes se définit par la coexistence ambiguë d’émancipation et de tradition. |
