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 partsâPart 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 Womenâs and Gender History and Womenâs and Gender Studies as well as International Transnational and Global History History of Social Movements and related specialized topics. .
