This
book is a systematic consideration of the link between the extreme right and the
discourse about developments in regard to gender issues within different
national states. The contributors analyze right-wing extremist tendencies in
Europe under the specific perspective on gender. The volume brings together the
few existing findings concerning the quantitative dimension of activities
carried out by men and women in different countries, and illuminates and
juxtaposes gender ratios along with the role of women in right-wing extremism.
Along with the gender-specific access to right-wing groups, the chapters look at
networks, organizational forms, specific strategies of female right-wing
extremists, their ideologies (especially regarding femininity and masculinity),
hetero normativity, discourses on sexuality, and preventive and
counter-strategies. The book will be of use to students and scholars interested
in gender and politics, European politics, and political
extremism.
