Sozioökonomie der Sexualitäten Conference

29. 4. 2022 - 30. 4. 2022
Wien, Austria

In her keynote titled “Woman as sexual beings in state socialism. How the state interest in reproduction translated into research on the female orgasm and how the pro-family policies fueled divorce,” Kateřina focused on the specific trajectories of gender and sexual liberation in communist countries. On the example of Czechoslovakia, she analyzed the unintended consequences of state-sanctioned traditionalizing measures, which nevertheless brought more agency to women.
