Forgotten Transnational Connections and National Contexts: an a??entangled historya?? of the political transfers that shaped Belgian feminism, 1890-1914

摘要

The history of Belgian feminism before World War I has hitherto been written almost exclusively from within a national framework. Using the perspective of a??entangled historya??, this article focuses on the forgotten transnational influences that shaped the prea??war movement for womena??s rights in Belgium, starting with the Dutch and French political transfers that triggered the birth of organised feminism in the early 1890s, followed by the interventions of the International Council of Women and the International Woman Suffrage Alliance aimed at creating a Belgian affiliation. This entangled history profoundly upsets the prevailing categorisation of socialist versus soa??called a??bourgeoisa?? feminism and thus contributes to the growing international body of work that criticises these accepted concepts in feminist historiography.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09612025.2010.502396
