A lecture "Occupied but Empowered? How the Soviets Redefined Women in Austrian Politics." (in English)

The post-war period brought massive changes to the everyday lives of Austrians. This was especially true for women, whose role in local politics increased during the occupation era — not least due to Soviet influence.
