The apparently hostile attitude toward feminism dominant among both Hungarian women & men is traced to the turn of the century, when the debate revolved around harmful effects of education on women's moral behavior. In the 1949 constitution, women were granted equality with men in all spheres of life. Women's work opportunities were equalized, & basic welfare, child care, & health issues were addressed. Hungarian women soon found themselves in the trap of the double burden of work & home, without any social or public recognition, & deprived of any forum of legitimate protest, since on paper they saw themselves as equal. Political, economic, & social changes since 1989 have afflicted women with new hardships. Today Hungarian women are strained between an increasingly forceful public invitation to withdraw to the exclusive traditional female gender role, & an economic situation that does not allow average families to survive with only one wage earner.
