Albion lost, paradise regained? Gender+ equality policies in the European Union 27

Abstract : 

Will Brexit, at least, have the collateral benefit of enabling the European Union (EU) 27 to make progress again in tackling gendered inequalities? Some people might believe that once British opposition to ‘more Europe’ is silenced, the surreptitious dismantling of gender+ equality policies might be reversed: paradise regained. Are such expectations justified? Forecasting the post-Brexit future is, of course, not easy. Looking back sheds light on the UK and its role in EU gender-equality policymaking, thus allowing us to weigh up the impact of its departure.
