The Womens International Democratic Federation, the Global South, and the Cold War

This book examines the role of the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) in transnational womens activism in the context of the Cold War, and in connection to the rights of women from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Combining a global history and postcolonial theory approach, this monograph shines light on an underrepresented organization and its important role in the Cold War, 20th-century women's rights and Soviet history. Questioning whether the organization acted for womens causes or whether it was merely a Cold War political instrument, the book analyzes and problematizes the place that the WIDF had in the politics of the Soviet Union, examining the ideology and politics of the WIDF and state socialist propaganda regarding womens equality and rights. Using Soviet archival documents of the organizations, the book offers a new perspective on the complexities of the development of global womens rights movement, which was divided by the Cold War confrontations.

This is an important study suitable for students and researchers in Womens and Gender History, Eastern European History and Gender Studies.
