Preliminary scope of work

This thesis explores how International Women’s Day (IWD) has been experienced, remembered, and re-shaped by two generational groups of Czech women. Those who lived through the communist regime (Group 1), and those born and raised in the post 1989 democratic world (Group 2). With the use of a qualitative methodology which is rooted in comparative historical analysis, the study aims to draw on semi-structured interviews and apply both thematic and discourse analysis to examine how meanings attached to IWD have evolved across time.
