内容説明

This important anthology of feminist writing brilliantly demonstrates the complexity and diversity of women's movements and organisations worldwide. The book opens with an analysis of women's history as subversion and the methodological aspects of feminist research projects. Individual contributors look at the experience of their own countries and explore 'feminism' as it is defined in the North and the South. Throughout, the book gives a distinct historical perspective on women's organising. It shows how women have always subverted the codes determining the spaces in which they move, extending the boundaries of their social space, and empowering themselves as well as confronting existing power structures.

内容説明

This collection brings together the results of research into the history of women's movements in five countries - Indonesia, Peru, Somalia, and the Sudan - and one region - the Caribbean. The researchers set out to investigate the histories of women's movements in their different countries in the context of present day struggles. The result is a range of experiences which demonstrate not only the long histories but also the complexity and diversity of women's movements in different contexts. Whether it is in Peru, or Trinidad and Tobago, or Jamaica, Somalia, Sudan, India or Sumartra, the essays document subversion, decoding and resistance on the part of women, as well as experiences of defeat and break-ups faced by women's organizations.
