The activism of women from Eastern Europe, particularly during the 1975 United Nations International Year of Women and the following Decade for Women, is the focus of this exploration. Kristen Ghodsee highlights the significant yet overlooked contributions of socialist women from Bulgaria and Zambia, revealing how their networks challenged the dominance of Western feminists. Through interviews and archival research, the book illustrates how the ideological rivalry between capitalism and socialism influenced contemporary women's movements globally.
