About (original language)

For the first time, core feminist texts from the second wave of feminism in Europe have been made available to researchers in an easily accessible online database. The FRAGEN project brings together books, articles and pamphlets that were influential in the development of feminist ideas in 29 countries during the second half of the 20th century.

The aim of the project is to facilitate comparative research into the history of feminist thinking in 27 EU countries plus Croatia and Turkey. The database is launched to the international research community in 2011. We hope to continue this project. FRAGEN is part of the European research project QUING (Quality in Gender + Equality Politics), FP6 Integrated project 2006-2011.

As part of this project, women’s libraries and academic researchers throughout Europe select feminist texts – such as books, articles and pamphlets – that were influential in the development of feminist ideas in the 1970s and 80s. The objective of the project is to make information available which will allow for comparative research into the history of feminist ideas in different European countries.
