Engendering Transnational Transgressions by Eileen Boris

This book reclaims the transgressive side of feminist history, challenging hegemonic norms and to the power of patriarchies. Through the lenses of intersectionality, gender analysis, and transnational feminist theory, it addresses the political in public and intimate spaces.

"An invaluable contribution to transnational feminist history! With capacious imagination and broad geographic scope, Boris, Dawson, and Molony's volume showcases outstanding scholarship connecting intimate and cross-border transgressionsIts stellar contributors trace how heteronormative and eugenic marriage norms were flouted and reformed around the globe, as well as how anticolonial, communist, and antimilitarism feminist networks and movements were built against several odds. This book underscores how important it is to analytically connect brave personal rebellions against gender norms with the fierce solidarity of those whose search for justice took them beyond their nations."

Ashwini Tambe, Editorial Director of Feminist Studies and author of Defining Girlhood in India: A Transnational History of Sexual Maturity Laws

"Engendering Transnational Transgressions offers a fascinating collection of essays that explore individual and collective forms of resistance in the realm of the intimate and the explicitly political. The chapters span various parts of the world, most notably the global South and the former second world and focuses predominantly on the 20th century but with contributions that go further back in time as well. This is a valuable contribution that will enrich the historical understanding of transnational feminisms and offer new insights that foreground intersectional analyses of personal and collective resistance that transcend national boundaries."
