Remembering Women’s Activism examines the intersections between gender politics and acts of remembrance by tracing the cultural memories of women who are known for their actions.
Memories are constantly being reinterpreted and are profoundly shaped by gender. This book explores the gendered dimensions of history and memory through nation-based and transnational case studies from the Asia-Pacific region and Anglophone world. Chapters consider how different forms of women’s activism have been remembered: the efforts of suffragists in Britain, the USA and Australia to document their own histories and preserve their memory; Constance Markievicz and Qiu Jin, two early twentieth-century political activists in Ireland and China respectively; the struggles of women workers; and the movement for redress of those who have suffered militarized sexual abuse. The book concludes by reflecting on the mobilization of memories of activism in the present.
Transnational in scope and with reference to both state-centred and organic acts of remembering, including memorial practices, physical sites of memory, popular culture and social media, Remembering Women’s Activism is an ideal volume for all students of gender and history, the history of feminism, and the relationship between memory and history.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, xv + 253 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Wear to tips of corners of covers and pages. Straight uncreased spine. -- This book explores how women's activism is remembered, forgotten, and re-interpreted in public memory across the globe. Moving beyond a simple history of feminist movements, authors Crozier-De Rosa and Mackie analyze the "memory work" involved in commemorating female activists - from the suffragettes of the past to contemporary online campaigners. The volume examines a wide range of case studies, looking at how statues, memorials, media, and digital archives shape our understanding of women's political struggles. It investigates the tensions and controversies that often arise, questioning who is remembered, who is erased, and how the emotional legacies of these movements are managed for present-day political purposes. The book argues that the act of remembering is itself a form of activism, crucial for sustaining feminist goals. Seller Inventory # 011751
