Abstract
Over the last 20 years, the evolution of gender arrangements has transformed the far right in Europe, especially in Germany and in France: both the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) and the French National Front (FN) have undergone a significant feminisation which has impacted on their sociological, strategic and ideological orientation. The analysis of the function, activities and political ideas of their women’s organisations provides information on the consequences of women’s involvement in political processes—in terms of power sharing as well as political practice or ideological change—within the far-right parties.
