This is the first scholarly attempt to look at the countries' similar political and socioeconomic experiences in the shift from authoritarianism to democracy through the intersecting topics of gender and consumer culture. This comparative analysis is a timely contribution to the field, providing much needed reflection on the social origins of the contemporary economic crisis that Spain, Portugal and Greece have simultaneously experienced. Bringing together past and present, the volume elaborates on the interplay between the current crisis and the memory of everyday life activities, with a focus on gender and consumer practices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConsumption and Gender in Southern Europe since the Long 1960s\u003c\/i\u003e firmly places the Southern European region in a wider European and transatlantic context.
