The Hungarian Women’s Lobby is an umbrella organization of Hungarian feminist women’ NGOs, and it is the national coordinating organization of the European Women’s Lobby.

The book consists of three parts. The first parts present feminist ideas and analysis, followed by discussions about the “new women’s movement”, both Finnish and international.

In this first issue, the family is analysed as a matter of politics and economics. The household and the role of women in the household is demystified and the authors discuss possible links between housework and national income, the historical evolution of family and the question of “housewives’ wages”, a political issue at the time.
