Wonderful...Kristen Ghodsee doesn't wear rose-tinted spectacles...but she seeks with great brio and nuance to lay out what some socialist states achieved for women...That Ghodsee also makes this a joyous read is the cherry on the cakeGhodsee's book could not have been published at a better moment...There are many reasons to revisit socialist policies in a time of widening inequality,but a feminist perspective offers some of the most powerful incentivesBrilliant...engaging...Ghodsee is not naive (and) brings the necessary scepticism to her thesis (which) comes into sharp focus when she looks at what happened after the Wall fell...(a) valuable record of how things were and how they could beConvincing,provocative and usefulCapitalism's triumph is a calamity for most women. Kristen Ghodsee's incisive book brilliantly reveals their plight
