Strike to Win: Can Polish Feminists Turn Protest Into Power?

In many ways, the women's movement in Poland is the face of the broader opposition that has emerged in the past year. Hundreds of thousands have turned up to demonstrations. People who have never been involved in politics before are marching in the streets. But this opposition is remarkably distant from the daily machinations of official politics. So far only the new left party, Razem, is advancing any kind of feminist agenda in the next election.While Poland has seen remarkable street protests, the opposition, whether formal or informal, has not yet been able to turn this into real political power.
