This is an overview of two centuries of transnational feminist efforts to produce a more just global order. It explores how social, economic, and political inequalities between men and women of different races, classes, ethnicities, and nationalities have been transformed over two centuries of globalization. It demonstrates how women have forged international networks and alliances to address specific women's issues beyond the borders of the nation-state, crafting policies to mitigate pressing abuses and devising alternatives to liberal and neo-liberal agendas. The book considers innovative feminist tactics to produce global change, tracing the structural forces that constrain transnational feminist activism. It illuminates the complexity of feminist strategies to influence international agencies and foundations, national governments, and transnational NGOs.
