The symposium coordinators were Birsen Talay Keşoğlu, Vehbi Baysan, and Şefi k Peksevgen, assisted by eleven more members of the Organizing Committ ee, including Aslı Davaz, director of the Istanbul Women's Library. 1 This symposium was extraordinarily successful. More than two hundred participants from all continents presented papers during forty-four (mostly parallel) sessions. The symposium was less Western dominated than any international women's history conference I have ever att ended, both with regard to the presenters and their topics.

The essay first introduces the three global foremothers: the German Clara Zetkin (1857–1933), the Russian Alexandra Kollontai (1872–1952), and the Trinidad-born Claudia Jones (1915–1964). Part II briefly presents three other women included in this book: the Malinese Aoua Keita (1912–1980), the Cuban Vilma Espín (1930–2007), and the Vietnamese Nguyễn Thị Bình (born in 1927). Part III is a short historiographical section. Part IV discusses these women’s motivations, their contributions, and how they achieved those results. Part V outlines the book’s set-up and aims.

Die Geschlechterbeziehungen waren im 19. Jahrhundert zutiefst patriarchal. Frauen wurden nicht als Individuen mit unterschiedlichen Bedürfnissen und Talenten betrachtet. Vielmehr erwartete man von ihnen, daß sie heiraten, den Männern dienen und sie versorgen, sei es Ehemänner, Väter oder Brüder. 1 Eine verheiratete Frau mußte ihrem Ehemann gehorchen, denn er war das eheliche Oberhaupt. Sie war »nicht rechtsfähig«, hatte weder die elterliche Gewalt über die Kinder noch das Recht zur Verwaltung der sogenannten »Gütergemeinschaft« und lebte unter der Obhut ihres Ehemannes (Braun 1992). 2 Unverheiratete Frauen, vor allem die aus den bürgerlichen Schichten, hatten nicht viele Wahlmöglichkeiten im Leben und noch weniger einen sozialen Status. Sie wurden »überzählige« oder »absonderliche« Frauen (Holländisch: >overcompleet<) genannt, Begriffe, die erschreckend deutlich erkennen lassen, in welchem Maße der Status einer Frau von der Ehe abhing. Und obgleich ihre wirtschaftliche »Nützlichkeit« in und um das Haus infolge der Urbanisierung,

It outlines the field's main contributions and shortcomings, identifying as the latter its strong focus on white, Western, liberal, "gender-only" feminism. Subsequently it discusses some of the contributions of the progressive Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF, established in Paris in 1945) and of women and men from Second and Third World countries to the international domain of women's rights-largely overlooked in mainstream historiography. The article ends by emphasizing the scholarly and political importance of including the WIDF, left feminist leaders such as Eugénie Cotton, Pak Chong-ae (internationally known as Pak-Den-ai), and Claudia Jones, and a broader definition of feminism in our historical research of transnational feminisms and the global women's movement.

The chapter emphasizes the active role of Vietnamese women and their organizations within and beyond the WIDF in providing information and initiating protest and solidarity actions. This included information about the large-scale sexual violence committed against Vietnamese women, and the proposal for what became the Friendship Hospital for Mothers and Children in Hanoi, officially opened in 1979. The case of the British National Assembly of Women serves to illustrate the type of actions undertaken by a WIDF member organization to protest the warfare, inform the public of what was going on in Vietnam, and to collect money for the Hanoi Hospital.

Il organise alors une veillée silencieuse pour protester contre le déclenchement de la guerre en Croatie, qui marque le début des guerres de Yougoslavie. Constitué en partie d'anciennes militantes socialistesféministes yougoslaves, il est imprégné des théories et pratiques féministes. Il s'inspire du premier groupe de Femmes en noir fondé en Israël en 1988, lorsque des Israéliennes juives manifestent en silence dans des quartiers animés de Jérusalem, pour dénoncer l'occupation.

Née dans une famille intellectuelle et politisée, elle reçoit une éducation solide. Lors de la guerre gréco-turque de 1897, elle s'engage comme infirmière (elle fera de même pendant les guerres balkaniques de 1912 et 1913). En 1906, elle épouse Spyros Theodoropoulos, avocat, homme politique et écrivain. Après-guerre, le couple devient proche d'Alexandros Papanastasiou, un libéral aux idées mâtinées d'influences socialistes, fondateur d'un parti libéral-républicain-démocratique, le Komma Dimokratikis Enoseos [Parti de l'Union Démocratique].
