摘要

The interwar period in Central Europe marked a significant era of transformation, particularly for women, whose roles evolved amid the sociopolitical upheavals and burgeoning Europeanism. This research explores the multifaceted experiences of women in countries of Central and East Europe between World War I and World War II. It examines the intersection of gender and European identity, highlighting how women’s participation in public and political life contributed to the broader Europeanist movement. The analysis is grounded in primary sources, including political manifestos, personal diaries, and contemporary media, to elucidate the impact of Europeanism on women’s rights and societal roles. The findings reveal that women not only adapted to but also actively shaped the Europeanist ideals, advocating for peace, cooperation, and democracy. This research underscores the importance of recognizing women’s contributions to the development of a unified European identity and provides a nuanced understanding of their influence in the interwar period.
