Description:
The study of women, gender and the extreme right lies at the confluence of two major areas of scholarly interest, and this conference is intended as a contribution to both. It will re-evaluate the history of women and gender in the light of contemporary approaches to the extreme right, and re-evaluate the history of the extreme right in the light of recent approaches to women and gender. It will examine the place of antifeminist discourses within the extreme right and the paradox of female engagement within deeply misogynist movements; the differences, if any, between fascist and non-fascist movements of the extreme right regarding women and gender;the relationships between conceptions of national identity, gender,right-wing antifeminism and women's engagement in movements and regimes of the extreme right.
