“…Furthermore, most of the literature (in IR and social sciences more broadly) that focuses on the non-violent civil resistance movement and the statebuilding initiatives prior to the NATO intervention in 1999 has not focused on the patriarchal reproductions of those efforts. Such viewpoints have overlooked women's resistance before and during the war outside the official historical narratives (E. Luci & Gusia, 2014;Demiri, 2018; and have rendered women's and feminist activism in statebuilding as a post-war product (Luci & Gusia, 2014).…”

“…As this edited volume will show at length, Kosovo has a history of feminist mobilisation that began when the country was still part of Yugoslavia, whether within the underground movement Ilegalja (E. or within the subsequent non-violent civil resistance movement (V. Luci & Gusia, 2014;. Such studies have demonstrated that liberation and state formation were the main driving forces behind the movement and the defence of women's rights was secondary, even if women's activism continued throughout the years.…”

“…Despite this continuous marginalisation of women's subjectivities in statebuilding narratives, feminist counter-public and scholars Farnsworth, 2008;Luci & Gusia, 2015;Gusia, Krasniqi & Luci, 2016; have collected, documented and written about histories of women activists who were engaged in different social and political movements in Kosova during the 1980s and 1990s. These movements included the campaign for women's literacy, national liberation movements, civic and armed resistance against the regime of Milosevic, as well as transnational activism for women's rights.…”

This volume bears the keen sight of its editors and the exertion of scholars from and of Kosovo to impact the uneven space of knowledge production about this social and political space. It is both a collection and a proposal for the contours of ongoing inter-generational and inter-disciplinary conversations giving shape to future critical, feminist and gendered analyses of state-building.'Prof. Dr. Nita Luci, Ambassador of Kosovo to Norway 'Feminist Encounters in Statebuilding, as its editors rightly argue, does much more than fill an obvious gap in the literature on statebuilding, which has thus far paid little attention to gender, even less so to feminist perspectives. The edited volume goes much further: thanks to the feminist lens, this collection of essays opens new research agendas and novel ways to think of statebuilding, far beyond the usual foci on institution-building and the rule of law. Memory, activism, justice, carethese are the themes that highlight both women's contributions to the statebuilding process and the silences that make them invisible. This is a book that should be a must read for all those interested in liberal interventionism as the defining political project of our times.'

Introduction: Although investigations of changing gender roles have been performed globally, most studies have been conducted in high-income countries, and studies from emerging and developing countries are lacking. This study aims to examine the factor structure of the feminine gender role stress scale among women (FGRS) and explore its relationship with psychological distress (PD). Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 656 women from Kosovo using a convenience sampling technique during October 2017 and March 2018. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21 and Mplus 7.3. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and path analysis were used to understand the goodness-of-fit of the FGRS scale in the Kosovo context and explore the relationship between the FGRS scale and PD when treated as latent variables. Multivariance analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to understand the differences between groups of women based on employment and FGRS. Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the prediction of different domains of FGRS for PD separately for each category while controlling for age. Results: After demonstrating that the five-factor model of the FGRS showed a good fit to the data in this sample of Kosovo women, analyses revealed that the FGRS domains (fear of victimization and behaving with assertiveness) were positively associated with psychological distress. Conclusion: The findings validate the usefulness of the FGRS scale in a sample of Kosovar women. The intersectionality perspective was used to interpret the importance of multiple layers of vulnerabilities and their coexistence, including education, socioeconomic status, and their implications for health inequalities.

The year 1989, when Serbia revoked Kosovo’s autonomy, was a break that changed also the course of women’s political engagements. Women had always to negotiate and strategise with different layers of power and against different forms of oppression—state and patriarchal oppression and cultural racism as well as class oppression. The author highlights the convergences and divergences of women’s political activism in the political dynamics of late socialism and then in the 1990s in Kosovo. She looks at gender, class and national dimensions of women’s political engagements with a focus on women who were part of the underground resistance movement commonly known as Ilegalja in the 1970s and 1980s as well as women intellectuals who held high state positions and were considered a part of the elite. After 1989, many engaged in the peacaful resistance movement of the 1990s.
