Vershinina, D. B. "NATIONALISM, CATOLICISM, FEMINISM? GENDER DIMENSION OF THE NATIONAL STRUGGLE IN IRELAND OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY." Вестник Пермского университета. История, no. 2(53) (2021): 186–97. http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2219-3111-2021-2-186-197.
Full textAbstract:
The author analyzes the evolution of the national movement in Ireland in the first half of the 20th century through the prism of women's participation and gender equality issues. It is argued that the Irish nationalists' choice of patriarchal Catholic ideology has not been predetermined since the revival of Irish nationalism, and although the Catholic faith played a significant role in the anti-British activities of the Irish national movement, there were many Protestants among its activists, as well as women who shared feminist values and played an important role in organizing the political and military struggle of the Irish for independence. The article focuses on the various methods of women's participation in the Irish national movement, including the creation of separate women's organizations, and membership in key societies and groups, as well as participation in constructing barricades and in fighting during the Easter Rising. It was more difficult to take part in the specifically women's struggle to grant Irish women the right to vote, which was associated with the activities of London organizations, the Women's Socio-Political Union specifically. It is argued that it was the anti-British orientation of the Irish political struggle that made it impossible (or difficult) to associate Irish feminists with the goals of the women's movement in the United Kingdom, which led to the victory of the social doctrine of Catholics and the “enslavement” of Irish women after the Irish Free State was created. The article analyzes not only sources of personal origin, telling about the participation of Irish women in the national movement, but also official documents of the young Irish state, demonstrating the evolution of its ideology in social and gender issues towards a patriarchal approach to the role of women in society, the fight against which has become the task of feminists of the second wave starting in the 1970s.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the cultural problems of genesis and the spread of feminist sentiments in the Russian province of the early XX century in the context of women's participation in the political life of the Russian Empire. Theemancipation of women is one of the most revealing processes within which there is a struggle between conservative and modernist values of social consciousness, which determine the spiritual content of the both that era and modern times. The culmination period for the women's movement for equality was the revolutionary time of the late XIX — early XX centuries, when women in Russia managed to achieve impressive results in this direction. This was due to several reasons. Firstly, the socio-cultural modernization of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries invaded for a long time the ideas of people about the role and purpose of women, as well as about relations between the sexes, which seemed immutable and inviolable, that is, it affected the so-called «gender sphere», which gave a new impetus to the ideology and movement of feminism. Secondly, in Russia, where there was always a special interest of society in the «female» topic, the history of the development of this phenomenon had its own features, and in some respects the emancipation process was even ahead of the european one. Thirdly, the historical connection of russian feminism with the revolutionary liberation movement and the prevailing pre-revolutionary situation in the country played a large role in this, and therefore the socio-political aspect of female activity in Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century is of particular interest. At the same time, not only the events and processes themselves with the participation of women are important and significant, but also the perception and assessments of them by modern people, given in the article on the example of the analysis of Vologda newspaper publications of the early Modernism period. For the first time, articles from the newspapers «Vologodsky Listok», «Russky Sever» and «Severnaya Zemlya» were introduced into scientific circulation.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the topic of feminism in Ukr ainian literature in the period of the frontier. This is one of the leading themes of Ukrainian literature. For women the XIX century was a turning point. At first they manifested themselves in literary activity, later – in the fields of science, art, social, economic, political life of society. For the first time in U krainian literature Olga Kobylyanska raises the topic of emancipation of women from middle social strata. The issue of the women’s movement as a social phenomenon has attracted and continues to attract attention of many researchers. In Ukraine, as in other European countries, it became widespread in the second half of the XIX century. The initiators of the women’s movement advocated the need to give women equal rights with men in professional, social and political life.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this study is the organization of the National Women's Council in Russia at the beginning of the XX century. The study was conducted using a gender approach in history (historical feminology). In addition, the problems under consideration were studied using the methods of source studies, mainly internal criticism of historical sources. The source base of the article was made up of both documentary (legislation and materials of women's congresses and organizations) and narrative sources. First of all, these are the documents of the A.I. Filosofov Foundation: draft charters of women's organizations, letters of petition, responses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and others. Of considerable interest is also the women's periodical press, which published reports and resolutions of women's congresses, memorable articles about representatives of the women's movement. The scientific novelty of the research lies both in the inclusion of new source complexes into scientific circulation, and in the reconstruction of the process of creating the All-Russian Women's Council, an organization that was seen as the coordinating center of the Russian women's movement. As a result of the analysis of sources and historiography, the authors came to the conclusion that at the beginning of the XX century the women's movement in Russia focused on the struggle for civil and political rights, for which it was necessary to unite the maximum possible number of women who aspired to equality. For this purpose, along with the creation of women's organizations and the publication of regular periodicals, women's congresses are beginning to be held. The First All-Russian Women's Congress for the first time raised the issue of creating a National Women's Council to unite all women's societies and organizations. Attempts to create the organization continued for 20 years, but were crowned with success only in 1917. However, Russian feminism has not been able to create an international organization. Despite the progressive nature of the activities of women's movement activists, the civil war in Russia interrupted the work of the organization.

Ao longo do século XX, as mulheres conquistaram novos espaços nas relações sociopolíticas. Eram marcantes as restrições à atuação sócio política feminina, que se pautavam em uma sociedade de padrões patriarcais, que julgava o sexo feminino inferior nas relações humanas. Este trabalho apresenta enunciados da revista de variedades Careta, fonte para delimitar os exercícios de poder históricos através da circulação de enunciados que serviam tanto à informação quanto à instrução da sociedade de um modo geral. Para as mulheres, orientações de comportamento e a expressão de opiniões sobre a atualidade efervescente e diversa, como forma de conformá-las ao destino de recato ou por vezes sugerindo ironia em observar as disparidades entre masculino e feminino. Em contraponto às determinações de um lugar de recato, destaca-se também indícios de resistência feminina aos saberes e poderes que oprimiam e naturalizavam um lugar de silêncio para elas. O movimento dos acontecimentos históricos sugere margens habitadas por possibilidades latentes de respostas à ordem vigente. O movimento sufragista, a Primeira Guerra, a Escola Normal, com ou sem teor de movimento pelos direitos femininos são apresentados como meios de propor o debate sobre a tensão estabelecida no jogo de forças e poder entre o masculino e o feminino.Indications of interditions to the feminine speech and its forms of resistance: the Careta magazine and the will of truth (1914-1918). Throughout the 20th century, women gained new spaces in socio-political relations. There were striking restrictions on the socio-political feminine performance, which were based on a society of patriarchal standards, which judged the female sex inferior in human relations. This paper presents statements from the variety magazine Careta, a source for delimiting historical power exercises through the circulation of statements that served both information and instruction of society in general. For women, behavioral guidelines and the expression of opinions on the effervescent and diverse present, as a way to conform them to the destiny of modesty or sometimes suggesting irony in observing the disparities between masculine and feminine. In contrast to the determinations of a place of modesty, there are also signs of female resistance to the knowledge and powers that oppressed and naturalized a place of silence for them. The movement of historical events suggests margins inhabited by latent possibilities of responses to the prevailing order. The suffragist movement, the First War, the Normal School, with or without the content of the feminine rights movement, are presented as a means of proposing the debate on the tension established in the game of strength and power between the masculine and the feminine. Keywords: History of female education; Magazine Careta; Game of strength and power.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the XIX century in the United States of America firmly established the ideals of the “Victorian Era”, according to which American women were considered the home keepers, had to create comfort and coziness, while men had to provide for their families. However, due to a number of factors, namely social consequences of the development of industrial society, and thus, emergence of the middle class, the prevalent in the society ideas underwent certain transformations. The article not only discusses the origin of the concept of “Victorianism” in Great Britain and its interpretations in the United States, but also explains the reasons that at the turn of the XIX – XX centuries led to the distortion of the long-held beliefs on gender roles in the society. In examination of peculiarities of self-determination of the American women, the author employs historical-genetic method that allows to grasp the reasons, according to which the representatives of “softer gender” traditionally were engaged in private sphere of life, as well as to follow the evolution of liberalization of their views in the context of the United States history of the turn of the XIX – XX centuries. Leaning of the principle of systematicity, the author views feminist movement not only as an attempt of American women to earn their place in public sphere, but also as part of the commenced process of social modernization. The author demonstrates how the American women, influenced by the subjective and objective factors, gradually were earning their place in public sphere, while changing their character, image and lifestyle. The article outlines the key difficulties faced by women at the turn of the XIX –XX centuries in their attempt overcome the traditional beliefs prevalent in the United States. An important role played their gender self-determination, which reflected sociocultural stereotypes established in the American society, as well as the new trends of socialization and professionalization of an individual.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines certain ideological peculiarities of the first-wave feminist movement in the Canadian province of Alberta, and intertwinement of Anglo-Canadian nationalism, maternal feminism and eugenics in the ideological basis of the feminist movement in the early XX century. The author examines the fusion of the questions of gender and nationality in ideology of the feminist movement, and analyzes the formation and realization of a particular feminist agenda in Alberta, which was based on the specific ideology of maternal feminism. Paying special attention to similarity of the ideology and objectives of the Anglo-Canadian nationalistic and feminist movements in the province, the author notes the causes for rapid success of the feminist movement by pivotal goals of the agenda. The scientific novelty of this research is substantiated by the fact that the author is first within the Russian historiography to explore the intertwinement of nationality and gender in ideology of the feminist movement in Alberta. The conclusion is drawn on the interinfluence of Anglo-Canadian nationalism, maternal feminism and eugenics in the ideological basis of the first-wave feminist movement in Alberta, as well as placing in the agenda the question of equal rights of men and women as an important aspect in preservation of Anglo-Canadian ideals for the future generations in Alberta.

Full textAbstract:
As women gained access to influence politics through formal official channels, social justice concerns of feminist activists started to be pursued through institutionalized forms of political intervention. Scholars have argued for a shift in feminist activism from participation in political movements to lobby and advocacy within formal organizations. The
institutionalization and professionalization of the feminist movement were widely associated
with feminist and women NGOs collaborating with governmental gender equality bodies to
advance movement goals and achieve policy success. While some insisted on the benefits of
infusing feminist ideas and practices within the state, others considered that NGO-ization
made the feminist movement susceptible of co-optation, contributing to its demobilization
and depoliticization. The financial dependency on public or private subsidies studded the
NGO-ization hypothesis and urged scholars to analyse the effects of funding on feminist
organizations and their capacity for mobilization. Despite the general diagnosis of a demobilized movement comprising an overabundance of depoliticized NGOs, contemporary feminist movement reveals as a space in which formal official organizations and informal groups co-exist, which use both disruptive and disciplined strategies, in different political locations, with various material resources, from friends and comrades’ contributions, to state funds or private grants. However, the NGO form seems to
dominate feminist movement organizations that turned into stable and legitimate partners of the state or international institutions, being more visible in the public space, while the informal groups are more fluid and less conspicuous. The major shortcoming within the literature that analyses these transformation is the fact that NGO-ization, institutionalization, professionalization and bureaucratization are used interchangeably and the relation between them is ambiguous. Similarly, scholars however do
not always seem to agree if there is a causal relation or a co-occurrence regarding the
outcomes of these processes – co-optation, demobilization and depoliticization. By comparing NGOized feminist organizations and Street feminist groups in Belgium and
Romania, in this research I aim to provide an answer to the question of what is NGO-izationand to trace the development of the NGO-ization process and its entanglements with
neoliberal modes of governance and techniques. Drawing both on social movements and
NGO-ization literature, by analysing the NGO-ization process, I aim to disentangle the links between institutionalization, professionalization, bureaucratization and financial dependence and bring some clarifications concerning the outcomes associated with them such as demobilization, depoliticization and co-optation.

Resumo - A presente dissertação insere-se na área da História das Mulheres e pretende ser um contributo para a monografia do Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas. Cronologicamente, esta pesquisa situa-se entre 1914 e 1947, período que corresponde à existência da Associação.
O Conselho foi uma organização de mulheres inserida no movimento feminista do início do século XX – o designado feminismo da primeira vaga –, que registou a maior longevidade na história das organizações feministas em Portugal.
O boletim, órgão de propaganda do Conselho, editado de Novembro de 1914 até Maio de 1947, constitui um corpus coeso que justificou tomar-se como fonte privilegiada deste trabalho. O Boletim Oficial do CNMP intitula-se, a partir de 1917, Alma Feminina, e no final de 1946 passa a ter a designação de A Mulher.
Perante uma fonte tão rica quanto extensa como o Boletim do Conselho, procura-se dar visibilidade ao Conselho, enquanto organização feminista, quer na sua orgânica, quer na perspectiva da sua actuação, e caracterizar o que foram as iniciativas que promoveram e em que participaram em prol do feminismo.
Pretende-se também dar visibilidade ao maior número possível de mulheres que participaram nos corpos gerentes, as activistas, as militantes e as sócias aderentes.
O Boletim do Conselho, enquanto periódico feminista, assume-se como objecto fundamental para o estudo do movimento feminista português, assim como dos constructos sociais veiculados sobre as mulheresRésumé - Ce Mémoire de DEA est une contribution à l’Histoire des Femmes: il s'agit d'une monographie du "Conseil National des Femmes Portugaises" (CNMP). Chronologiquement, la période étudiée va de 1914 à 1947 correspondant à celle de l'existence de cette Association. Le Conseil a été l'organisation de femmes du mouvement féministe du début du XX ème siècle - dit féminisme de la première vague -, qui a connue la plus grande longévité de l'histoire des organisations féministes au Portugal. Le bulletin, organe de propagande du Conseil publié de novembre 1914 jusqu'à mai 1947, constitue un corpus uni, ce qui justifie qu'il soit pris comme source privilégiée du présent travail. Le Bulletin Officiel de CNMP s'intitulait dès 1917, «Âme Féminine», désignation qui, à la fin 1946, a été remplacée par «La Femme». Face à une source si riche et si vaste, ce Mémoire de DEA cherche à donner visibilité au Conseil en tant qu'organisation féministe, soit dans sa structure organique, soit dans la perspective de son action et aussi bien à caractériser les initiatives qu'il a promues et auxquelles il a participé, en faveur du féminisme. Ce travail vise aussi à donner de la visibilité au plus grand nombre possible de ces femmes qui ont participé aux corps dirigeants, les activistes, les militantes et les partenaires adhérentes. Le bulletin du Conseil, en tant que périodique féministe est une source fondamentale pour l'étude du mouvement féministe portugais ainsi que des constructions sociales transmises à propos des femmes
Abstract - The following Master Thesis is focused on Women Studies and expects to be a contribution to the monography of the “Portuguese Women’s National Council". Chronologically, the research is set between 1914 and 1947, period that corresponds to the existence of the Association. The Council was a women’s organization that emerged from the feminist movement of the early 20th century – the first wave of feminism – which has achieved the greatest longevity amongst Portuguese Feminist Organizations. The bulletin, Council's propaganda vehicle published from November 1914 to May 1947, justly became a privileged source for the present work due to its cohere corpus. First known as the “PWNC Official Bulletin", the publication is renamed “Feminine Soul" in 1917, and again in late 1946, becoming “The Woman". Facing a source that is as rich as it is vast, like the Council's Bulletin, it’s intended to focus on the Council as a feminist organization, either in its organic structure, as well as in its acting perspectives. It's our intent to characterize both the initiatives promoted by the Council and the ones the Council took part in the defense of feminism. It’s also intended to give greater visibility to as many women as possible, from those that held positions in the Council's board, to the activists, militants and enlisted members. The Council's bulletin, as a feminine publication, is clearly a fundamental source to the studies of the Portuguese Feminist Movement, as well as for women social studies

Maurer, Anna C. ""Churches in the Vanguard:" Margaret Sanger and the Morality of Birth Control in the 1920s." Thesis, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1805/7908.
Full textAbstract:
Many religious leaders in the early 1900s were afraid of the immoral associations and repercussions of birth control. The Catholic Church and some Protestants never accepted contraception, or accepted it much later, but many mainline Protestants leaders did change their tune dramatically between the years of 1920 and 1931. This investigation seeks to understand how Margaret Sanger was able to use her rhetoric to move her reform from the leftist outskirts and decadent, sexual connotations into the mainstream of family-friendly, morally virtuous, and even conservative religious approval. Securing the approval of religious leaders subsequently provided the impetus for legal and medical acceptance by the late-1930s.
Margaret Sanger used conferences, speeches, articles, her magazine (Birth Control Review), and several books to reinforce her message as she pragmatically shifted from the radical left closer to the center and conservatives. She knew the power of the churches to influence their members, and since the United States population had undeniably a Judeo-Christian base, this power could be harnessed in order to achieve success for the birth control movement, among the conservative medical and political communities and the public at large. Despite the clear consensus against birth control by all mainline Christian churches in 1920, including Roman Catholics and Protestants alike, the decade that followed would bring about a great divide that would continue to widen in successive decades.
Sanger put forward many arguments in her works, but the ones which ultimately brought along the relatively conservative religious leaders were those that presented birth control not as a gender equity issue, but rather as a morally constructive reform that had the power to save and strengthen marriages; lessen prostitution and promiscuity; protect the health of women; reduce abortions, infanticide, and infant mortality; and improve the quality of life for children and families. Initially, many conservatives and religious leaders associated the birth control movement with radicals, feminists, prostitutes, and promiscuous youth, and feared contraception would lead to immorality and the deterioration of the family. Without the threat of pregnancy, conservatives feared that youth and even married adults would seize the opportunity to have sex outside of marriage. Others worried the decreasing size of families was a sign of growing selfishness and materialism. In response, Sanger promoted the movement as a way for conservatives to stop the rising divorce rates by strengthening and increasing marriages, and to improve the lives of families by humanely increasing the health and standard of living, for women and children especially. In short, she argued that birth control would not lead to deleterious consequences, but would actually improve family moral values and become an effective humanitarian reform. She recognized that both liberals and conservatives were united in hoping to strengthen the family, and so she emphasized those virtues and actively courted those same conservative religious leaders that had previously shunned birth control and the movement. Throughout the 1920s, she emphasized the ways in which birth control could strengthen marriages and improve the quality of life of women and children, and she effectively won over the relatively conservative religious leaders that she needed to bring about the movement’s public, medical, and political progress.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is concerned with the problem of press analysis in the research on the history of women. Women’s press was a new phenomenon in the 19th century. The appearance of magazines for women was a response for increasing level of their education and literary interests. Women often read press because there can be found fragments of new novels, fresh trends in fashion, dietetary and practical advices concerning housing. A development of women’s press in the second half of 19th century was strongly influenced by feminist movement. In addition to practical journals, there appeared modern social magazines aimed at dissemination of a feminist ideology and a new approach to women’s problem. In the paper a new methods of investigation of women’s press and the obtained results are examined.

The Epilogue demonstrates how the UN Charter’s women’s and human rights promises inspired feminists throughout the Americas, and how the Cold War stifled the movement and largely erased the historical memory of inter-American feminism. Paulina Luisi and Marta Vergara helped organize an inter-American feminist meeting in Guatemala in 1947 that articulated broad meanings of inter-American feminism and global women’s and human rights. However, the Cold War’s pitched battle between communism and capitalism narrowed both “feminism” and “human rights” to mean individual political and civil rights. The Cold War also contributed to historical amnesia about this movement. The epilogue explores how Cold War politics affected each of the six feminists in the book. Each woman sought in different ways to archive the movement and write inter-American feminism into the historical record. The epilogue also provides connections between their movement and the global feminist and human rights movements that emerged in the 1970s through the 90s. It argues that the idea that “women’s rights as human rights” was not invented in the 1990s; rather, it drew on the legacy of early twentieth-century inter-American feminism.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the history of interpretation of Galatians 3:28 and its application to women’s ministry and ordination in the American context. Not until the nineteenth century was the text understood to mean anything other than a person’s standing before God. After tracing the historical interpretation of the text, the chapter turns to the emergence of and controversy over women in ministry in the nineteenth century. The coalescence of evangelical revivalism and the first women’s rights movement in the 1840s shifted the text’s meaning to the human dimension, namely, to a woman’s right to serve in an equal capacity to men as ordained ministers. Galatians 3:28 emerged as the decisive text in support of women’s ordination. The chapter extends the discussion into recent times, examining advocates of women in ministry from a mainline Protestant perspective (Krister Stendahl), a feminist perspective (Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza), and an evangelical perspective (Richard Longenecker).

The Introduction makes a case for gendering the history of sexology; specifically it argues that focusing on women’s ideas facilitates a more complex understanding of sexology as a form of knowledge and power. It begins by introducing the key figures and exploring the kinds of political promise they saw in scientific knowledge. It then challenges the limits of Foucault’s highly influential analysis of sexology by contextualizing sexology’s emergence within the rise of the women’s movement in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. Moreover, the Introduction draws on the sociology of science to reframe sexology as a field, and thus to argue that sexology was built and animated by a diverse range of actors with disparate investments in the creation of this knowledge. Finally, it discusses the limitations of women’s sexual scientific work and the ambivalent legacy it bequeathed.

In this 21st century, the world, as well as societal norms, changes rapidly due to globalization. The feminist movement is one of the important outcomes of these societal changes. Nowadays the status or position of women becomes progressed as we find them in every pace of the world due to the waves of the feminist movement. This chapter examines how women got their rights to introduce themselves in this patriarchal society, the history of the world of women's literature – how women introduce themselves as writers and the way they are depicted within the world of literature, and the present scenario of women in the society as portrayed in the world of literature through selected literary texts as contexts.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction outlines the main themes and arguments of Feminist Transformations. It situates the book's findings within existing literatures on feminism and the history of divided Germany. It provides an historical and historiographical overview of feminism in Germany, showing both how the history of feminism has thus far been written and how women's rights and gender roles have featured in Germany in the long-twentieth century. Additionally, it reflects on contemporary studies on processes of co-optation, feminist mainstreaming, and social change. In doing so, it lays out the central claim of the book that feminist domestic violence activism has been one of the most successful campaigns of the women's movement in Germany, but one that has come at a price. It further asserts the importance of including East Germany in the history and historiography of feminism in Germany.

Full textAbstract:
In 2008, Sarah Palin became the first woman to run for vice-president on the Republican ticket. Four years later, Michele Bachmann made a serious bid for that party’s presidential nomination. In both cases, contemporary commentators puzzled over the notion that a woman could take on a political leadership role while advocating conservative positions on gender and family. These women are much less perplexing if considered in the long history of women’s involvement and leadership in the New Christian Right. Their careers represent the culmination of the history covered in this book’s earlier chapters, as well as significant shifts in the rhetoric, priorities, and roles of women in the religious right over the past half century. In particular, Palin’s controversial identification as a “conservative feminist” highlights an evolving relationship between a previously explicitly antifeminist movement and the substantial gains of women’s rights advocates over the course of the twentieth century.

This chapter traces encounters between Turks and people from the former Soviet Union, starting with a blockbuster telenovela featuring Hürrem, a passionate 16th century “Russian” woman who was in Süleyman the Magnificent’s harem, later becoming his wife. Emphasizing two periods, the 1920s “Islamic jazz age”, when hundreds of thousands of Russian speakers arrived in Istanbul as they fled the Russian Revolution, and a post-Soviet era when “Russians” are again highly visible as tourists and labor migrants, the chapter depicts a history of trade, mobility, and desire linking the former Soviet Union and Turkey. The chapter also analyzes politics of gender in a neoliberal Turkey defined by decades of secularism, a vibrant feminist movement, and a growing prevalence of Islamist ideals.

The introductory chapter presents the two main arguments of the study. First, as a result of both the Trujillo and Balaguer regimes’ efforts to uphold the Dominican Republic’s international reputation as stable and project an image of a progressive and progressing nation, women found and expanded spaces of global and transnational activism that advanced basic political rights and paved the way for the late 20th century feminist movement. Second, while the paternal constructs of rule upheld by Trujillo and Balaguer did advance women’s roles in certain arenas of society and politics, they also paradoxically enforced a superstructure that maintained a traditional understanding of women’s innate abilities as maternal public figures. It elaborates on the historiographies of Dominican women’s history, transnational feminism, and dictatorship, and lays out the structure of the subsequent chapters.

This introduction explains the importance of the 1984 international gathering of anarchists in Venice and grounds Volontà in the history of 20th century anarchism. After May 1968 and the militant radicalism in 1970s Italy, the leading intellectuals of the international anarchist movement were trying to think through “what now?” Anarchism, like the revolutionary left more broadly, was caught between a series of epochal shifts. The early 1980s saw the onset of what we would now call “neoliberalism”, entailing a dramatic transformation of the role of the state, work, rates of inequality, and the rise of consumerist individualism. Industrial employment went into freefall across the Global North, reconfiguring the global geographies of exploitation and class. Anarchism itself endured an existential challenge, subsumed in its political form under the so-called “new social movements”, with the ecological and feminist movements in particular taking the lead. These issues are not historical curiosities: the essays in this volume have lost none of their power in attempting to address these paradoxes not only in theory, but with the urgency of renewing a sense of what anarchism is (and could be) within a libertarian movement that can realistically strive to change the world.
