- Description
- In this study Bolt sheds light on the differences in the area of race, class and internationalism, which flourished in an era of political reaction, economic insecurity, polarising nationalism and resurgent anti-feminism. The author reveals how the conflicts were seized upon and publicised by contemporaries, and how the activists themselves were forced to confront the increasingly complex tensions. in particular, the American and british women's movements grew further apart as British women became more conscious of American money, expectation of influence and opposition to the existence of Britain's empire.

- Description
- Garner documents Western-led international organisations that dominated women’s involvement in global politics from the 1925 founding of the Joint Standing Committee of Women’s International Organisations up through the UN Decade for Women (1976-85). These nongovernmental organisations successfully infused liberal feminist and humanist values into the agendas of the League of Nations and United Nations, expanded the role of NGOs in global governance, and pressed intergovernmental bodies to recognise what they collectively defined as ‘universal’ women’s rights and human rights. Although women have not achieved an equal measure of policy making power within their societies or within the global governance system, the League of Nations and the United Nations provided women NGOs with forums to challenge these inequalities and to lessen discriminations against women. Documenting global campaigns in the twentieth century, Garner includes biographical information about international leaders as she discusses important historic debates regarding feminist goals and strategies among women

- Description
- Harrington traces the historical change in the politicization of rape as an international problem. In the 1990s, feminist scholars on the politics of rape experienced a sudden surge of interest in their, until then, marginal field. Why was the 1990s the right time for rape to become an international security problem? Furthermore, why suddenly in the 1990s did rape become problematized as an international issue not just by the feminist fringes of protest movements but also by intergovernmental bureaucracies? This book explains how early international women's organizations gained expert authority on rape by drawing on abolitionist rhetoric of bodily integrity, why they abandoned their politicization of rape in the inter-war period and why rape only reappeared as an international security question requiring gender expertise on trauma after the Cold War.
