When Activism Is Not Enough: Kristen Ghodsee, Second World, Second Sex. Socialist Women's Activism and Global Solidarity during the Cold War
2020
Abstract
In her book Second World, Second Sex (2019), the American anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee deals with the rehabilitation of women's activism in post-war socialist states in the context of international cooperation of women's organizations during the United Nations Decade for Women (1976-1985). The article follows the author's problematic argumentation, based on theoretical concepts of socialism, and offers other possibilities for research into women's activism in socialist Czechoslovakia.
