| Summary: | The hegemony of Anglo-American work in geography has become obvious recently and has been the target of sharp criticism by critical geographers. In contrast, although in a different social, cultural, economic and institutional context and to a varying degree, the geographical knowledge (within rather masculinist disciplines) which we feminist geographers produce plays a marginal role the world over. Fighting for a radical change in this status quo is undoubtedly of mutual interest to us. These two (i.e. geopolitical and gender) types of relations between our position and interest inherently carry both differences and inequalities, the latter, produced by capitalism and patriarchy. Thus the two topics that I seek to address are meant to illustrate mainly difference: first, the East Central European forms of the Anglo-American (and East-West) hegemony and their implications impeding development as was experienced in the course of cultivating gender studies/feminist geography; and second, the characteristics of feminist geography in the post-socialist region, with a focus on the social and institutional root causes of the time lag in/lack of its emergence.
