For twenty-five years, Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World
has been an essential primer on the late nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century history of women's movements in Asia and the
Middle East. In this engaging and well-researched survey, Kumari
Jayawardena presents feminism as it originated in the Third World,
erupting from the specific struggles of women fighting against
colonial power, for education or the vote, for safety, and against
poverty and inequality. Journalist and human rights activist Rafia
Zakaria's foreword to this new edition is an impassioned letter in
two parts: the first to Western feminists; the second to feminists
in the Global South, entreating them to use this "compendium of
female courage" as a bridge between women of different nations.
Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World was chosen as one of
the top twenty Feminist Classics of this Wave, 1970-1990, by Ms.
magazine, and won the Feminist Fortnight Award in the UK.
