Summary/Abstract: The article explores the emerging feminist project in post-communist Bulgaria and the post-Soviet bloc as a whole as a process of adopting and adapting Western liberal ideas in the building of civil society in the 1990s, further consolidated by the integration in the European Union and its new standards for gender equality and anti-discrimination policies. Using the methodology of cultural translation this incomplete and uneven project is viewed as feminism in/ as translation, i.e. not simply cultural transfer of foreign feminist ideas and practices but a complex process of translation, involving strategies of negotiation and resistance, of re-signification of meanings and re-writing of feminist knowledge as well as social transformation.
