- Description
- This volume reflects the potential of a new perspective that allows for a more adequate analysis of transnational activities, by looking at the lives and work of women’s activists in informal border-crossings, ephemeral NGOs, the lower management of established international organizations, and other global networks. By pointing out cultural hierarchies, the vicissitudes of translation and re-interpretation, and the ambiguity of intercultural exchange, this volume demonstrates the potential of transnational history.

- Description
- Collection of twelve essays from feminist historians from around the world to look at how women have always found ways to challenge or fight inequalities and hierarchies as individuals, in international women’s organizations, as political leaders, and in global forums such as the United Nations. Part one brings together four essays about organized women’s activism across borders. The chapters in part two focus on the variety of women’s activism and explore women’s activism in different national and political contexts. And part three explores the changing relationships and inequalities among women. This book addresses women’s internationalism and struggle for their rights in the international arena: it deals with racism and colonialism in Australia, India and Europe: women’s movements and political activism in South Africa, Eastern Bengal (Bangladesh), the United Kingdom, Japan and France. .Part 1: Transnational Women’s Activism 1. ‘Overcoming Hierarchies through Internationalism : May Wright Sewall’s Engagement with the International Council of Women (1888-1904)’ Karen Offen 2. ‘Transnational mentoring: the impact of Sarojini Naidu's 1924 visit to South Africa on Cissie Gool and women's leadership’ Patricia van der Spuy and Lindsay Clowes 3.
