- 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.

- Description
- The colonial ties of the Nordic countries are usually regarded as weak, their international relations being characterised by development aid, peace building or cooperation, rather than by colonialism or imperialism. This book presents a more complex analysis, introducing the concept of 'colonial complicity' to enlighten the ways in which the northern European countries continue to take part in (post)colonial processes: 'exporting civilisation' in the form of their national self-images in respect of welfare state models and achievements in gender equality. Analyzing the manner in which Nordic countries are marked by both cultural and economic colonial relations, it offers a perspective on the analysis of Europe and colonialism, along with its material, political and ethical consequences.With an analysis of welfare state practices and the effects of the gender equality discourse in relation to 'race' and ethnicity, this volume shows how images of achieved gender equality can be used to construct dichotomous divisions between the 'nation' and its 'others', 'us' and 'them'.
