This open-access book delves into the intricate realm of Albanian female migration, both within the country and across international borders. By placing gender at the center of postsocialist transformation, it uncovers the vulnerabilities that arise for female citizens as a result of the contradictory policies enacted by the Albanian state. Through the exploration of the intersection of gender and migration, the book sheds light on how Albanian women navigate complex social relations and intricate migration trajectories. By examining a diverse range of cases, including internal, international, return, economic, and student female migrants, the book emphasizes that migration does not adhere to a linear evolutionary path, where women transition from traditional to 'modern' gender relations. Instead, it highlights the diverse strategies and tactics employed by women to confront gender inequalities, fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate entanglements between gender and migration. This book is an invaluable resource for students, academics, researchers, and policymakers in the fields of migration and gender studies, as well as social scientists and policymakers in European countries.
