Women from the state socialist countries in Eastern Europe-what
used to be called the Second World-once dominated women's activism
at the United Nations, but their contributions have been largely
forgotten or deemed insignificant in comparison with those of
Western feminists. In Second World, Second Sex Kristen Ghodsee
rescues some of this lost history by tracing the activism of
Eastern European and African women during the 1975 United Nations
International Year of Women and the subsequent Decade for Women
(1976-1985). Focusing on case studies of state socialist Bulgaria
and nonaligned but socialist-leaning Zambia, Ghodsee examines the
feminist networks that developed between the Second and Third
Worlds and shows how alliances between socialist women challenged
American women's leadership of the global women's movement. Drawing
on interviews and archival research across three continents,
Ghodsee argues that international ideological competition between
capitalism and socialism profoundly shaped the world women inhabit
today.
