We must abolish the entitlement that deludes us into believing that we have the right to make assumptions about people’s identities and project those assumptions onto their genders and bodies. (Janet Mock)

Vol. 4. Private Is The (In)Visible Public (2014)
The fourth volume of “WOMEN IN POLITICS: NEW APPROACHES TO THE POLITICAL” reflects on the private as the (in)visible public. The authors investigate how public discourse and its governmental and sociocultural representations control private lives. The volume addresses marginalisation of the gendered private that does not fit the heteronormative matrix. The contributors analyse the patterns of hidden oppression of the private by the public discourses that shape our perceptions of identity, sexual orientation, profession, fashion, and governmental initiatives.
