This Handbook addresses the role of women in communism as a global,
social and political movement for the first time, exploring their
lives, forms of activism, political strategies and transnational
networks. Comprising twenty-five chapters, based on new and primary
research, the book presents the lives of self-identified communist
women from a truly international perspective and outlines their
struggles against fascism and colonialism, and for women's
emancipation and national liberation. By using the lens of
transnational political biography, the chapters capture the broader
picture of these women's lives, unpacking the links between the
so-called public and private, the power structures and inequalities
of their societies, the formal networks and politics in which they
were involved, and the informal connections and friendships that
supported their activism both at the national and international
level. Challenging androcentric and Eurocentric narratives about
communism, this Handbook reveals the active and significant roles
of women in nineteenth- and twentieth-century communist movements
and regimes, and highlights the importance of communist women in
shaping the agenda for women's rights worldwide.
