This anthology indicates the many
and multi-layered ways in which women’s movements
have developed over the past and the challenges
faced by
women’s movements today. Covering a broad range of issues, the book strives for re-narration and re-location of one of the
major social movements of the 20th century and fresh analysis of the latest
trends.
The anthology points to the importance of strategic generalisations of gender. The
women’s movements are seen as forming
a wide range of discoursive communities that have gradually unfolded at the global level during the
20th century. The volume invites
readers to recognise the integrated nature of research, reflection and contextualisation and is a manifestation of the links between
women’s movements and gender studies as well as the struggle of
coming to terms with new challenges and new interpretations.
