An inclusive history of women's activism to improve working conditions in Eastern Europe, Turkey, and beyond. So often, theories of activism and social change neglect acts of resistance in informal, community, and domestic contexts. This collaborative investigation from a transnational team of scholars addresses two related shortcomings: the lack of class analysis in gender history and the neglect of gender dynamics in labor history. Women's Labour Activism in Eastern Europe and Beyond highlights understudied topics in both of these fields, such as radical, grassroots, and interclass women's labor activism on behalf of lower-income and working-class women and communities; women's participation in trade unions on both sides of the Iron Curtain; and the heretofore neglected presence of Eastern European women in international organizations, including the cooperative movement.
