Gender, Communism and Transnational Relations between the Sixties and the Eighties
Introduction
Abstract
This dossier is based on transnational history and gender history as perspectives of analysis which, when combined, offer new insights into the interpretation of the past. The experience of communist women in transnational initiatives is well known for the first half of the 20th century, but not for the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, when profound changes in international relations, communism and feminism took place. The articles in the dossier are focused on gender discourses and representations in the communist transnational community, and on the active participation of women in transnational networks established from Southern Europe and Latin America.
