| This article explores EU gender policy through the lens of the "Wollstonecraft dilemma", a guiding conceptual device that helps to summarize women's difficult path towards equality in a patriarchal system. EU gender policy reflects the contradictions women must face in their struggle for equality, which are common to most public gender policies. All provisions devised to progress in gender equality have negative retroactive effects on women, due to the patriarchal context in shich they are applied. Empirical evidence from the Spanish case offers further support to the argument, showing how EU gender policy is still trapped in the "Wollstonecraft dilemma". A more holistic approach to EU gender policy, able to tackle all the areas of which patriarchy is composed, and an improved monitoring of EU gender policy implementation in the member states, could both generate a more effective gender policy in the EU and make further progress in solving the dilemma. | |
