As the concept of gender mainstreaming grows more prominent in the debate about gender equality, this book explores its origins, evolution and varying impacts on political, social and cultural issues around Europe. It also considers mainstreaming’s potential and limits, providing a timely contribution to the ongoing debate about gender attitudes.

At a time of intense debate about gender attitudes and equality, this is a welcome review of the pan-European impacts of the theory of gender mainstreaming. The book explores the origins and evolution of the concept, compares and contrasts its influence on legislation, culture and opinions around Europe, and considers its limits in the face of economic and migration challenges.

Vera Lomazzi is Senior Researcher at the Data Archive for Social Sciences at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences in Germany, and Secretary of the Executive Committee of the European Values Study. Isabella Crespi is Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Macerata, Italy, and member of European Sociological Association RN 13 Sociology of Families and Intimate Lives Advisory Board.
