Abstract

Since the times that Karl Polanyi named “the great transformation” and up to the pre-COVID-19 era, the market has played the central role in organization of the society. Such a system has affected women more profoundly: to be officially paid, they had to compromise professional and family life. The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns added even more burden to them, returning education and childcare to the household realm. This chapter draws on the rich empirical data featuring postYugoslav and post-Soviet female immigrants’ experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic
in Austria and Hungary. The analysis reveals the ways in which experiences with previous global crises that represented radical changes influenced their resilience throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
