Transnational Feminism in Non-English Speaking Europe, c.1960-1990

This edited collection aims to look beyond established narratives of feminist history, by focusing onnon-English speaking European countries. Recent scholarship on the history of the women's liberationmovement in individual countries has enhanced our understanding of the importance of transnational influences in the history ofEuropean feminism, and problematised the periodisation of feminisms. Additionally, the translation offeminist practices and texts have received interest during the past years.Despite this work, the United States, and to a lesser extent the United Kingdom, are still the main points ofreference in histories of post-war feminism. This book asks what happens to the picture if weplace non-English speaking European countries in the centre.Using Lucy Delap's concept of 'mosaic feminism', its contributors emphasise the variety ofpatterns that women's feminist organising showed in different cultural contexts despite similarities intheir ideological corner stones.
