Engendering Transnational Transgressions reclaims the transgressive
side of feminist history, challenging hegemonic norms and the power
of patriarchies. Through the lenses of intersectionality, gender
analysis, and transnational feminist theory, it addresses the
political in public and intimate spaces. The book begins by
highlighting the transgressive nature of feminist historiography.
It then divides into two parts-Part I, Intimate Transgressions:
Marriage and Sexuality, examines marriage and divorce as viewed
through a transnational lens, and Part II, Global Transgressions:
Networking for Justice and Peace, considers political and social
violence as well as struggles for relief, redemption, and change by
transnational networks of women. Chapters are archivally grounded
and take a critical approach that underscores the local in the
global and the significance of intersectional factors within the
intimate. They bring into conversation literatures too often
separated: history of feminisms and anti-war,
anti-imperial/anti-fascist, and related movements, on the one hand,
and studies of gender crossings, marriage reconstitution, and
affect and subjectivities, on the other. In so doing, the book
encourages the reader to rethink standard interpretations of
rights, equality, and recognition. This is the ideal volume for
students and scholars of Women's and Gender History and Women's and
Gender Studies, as well as International, Transnational, and Global
History, History of Social Movements, and related specialized
topics.
