Summary
The conference brought together women from the East, West and South to discuss how to shape a new alternative feminist agenda linking changing states, changing markets and women’s agency. In the process the conference was an important building block in WIDE’s ‘herstory’.

This short paper reflects on the vision, analysis, courage and strategies that women from around 36
countries shared at the 2006 WIDE Annual Conference on ‘What State are we in: women’s lives,
changing states, expanding markets’ in Warsaw, the first WIDE Annual Conference to be held in
Eastern Europe.
