Routledge Connecting Women's Histories: Local and Global - Routledge

This Routledge scholarly work examines the interconnected histories of women across the globe during the twentieth century and beyond, bridging women's history with international, transnational, imperial and global perspectives. The book brings together contributions exploring diverse topics including British women's activist networks engaged with empire, the Society for the Overseas Settlement of British Women, suffrage movements spanning Britain and South Africa, and the experiences of white Zimbabwean women navigating questions of belonging and identity. By tracing the entangled pathways of women's movements and activism across borders and continents, this collection demonstrates how local women's histories connect to and illuminate broader global narratives. Designed for historians, scholars, and readers interested in women's studies and global history, it provides multifaceted insights into how women shaped and responded to the major historical currents of their era.
