I am trying to speak from my heart, out of need, as a woman who loves other women passionately, and wants us to be able to be together as friends in this unjust world; and as a woman who lives in relative security in the United States, and who is trying to figure out my responsibility and my need in struggles against injustice in a way that will lead to our friendship. Minnie Bruce Pratt, 1984 Even as I witnessed the hypocrisy of Cwhite] feminists, I clung to the hope that increased participation of women from different races and classes in feminist activities would lead to a reevaluation of feminism, radical reconstruction of feminist ideology, and the launching of a new movement that would more adequately address the concerns of both women and men. I was not willing to see white women feminists as "enemies." Yet as I moved from one women’s group to another trying to offer a different perspective, I met with hostility and resentment. Bell Hooks, 19B4 □n the last day of class, I return to the possibility of feminist ideology as a space of cross-racial connection between women. From the white women, a flurry of approval. From the black women, silence— dead silence. I am the white bitch making more promises I won’t be keeping. Minrose Gwin, 1988 1 s The feminist movement, if not yet a fully realized "space of cross-racial connection between women," is at least one in which the possibility of that connection is ardently being worked for. Among those feminists whose notion of the movement is not "shallow and trivial," who see feminism as more than Just "a new road to inclusion within a white male order" CRich 1973: 279), racism— both within and without the movement— is a pressing problem. In the discourse of anti-racist feminism, friendship between women is frequently offered as an epitome of a transformed social order, as in the passage above from Minnie Bruce Pratt. Yet, historically, white and black women have not frequently or easily been friends. As Hooks’s testimony above makes plain, white women have ignored, devalued, and oppressed women of color. Even white feminists are among the racist oppressors; we have written our own ironic chapter of the long history of enmity that separates white and black women. We— women «of both races— have had enormous difficulty listening to each other, responding to criticism, recognizing the bases of interracial alliance Cor even agreeing that these exist), understanding our differences and their implications, and making common cause. This dissertation is a study of representations of friendship between black and white women in U.3. 3 women’s literature From the abolitionist era to 1940. Such representations have special significance at this moment of feminist history when the image of interracial friendship is an anchoring vision for anti- racist activists. In addition, to study these representations also leads one to confront certain pressing theoretical issues such as differences among women, solidarity among women and female self- definition, racial and sexual essentialism, and the relationship of literature to "real life," particularly the status of literary subversion as political strategy. I imagine this work as a response to the multiple challenges issued by black feminism since at least the early nineteenth century, challenges which have intensified since the 1970s. At the very least, we white feminists have been asked simply

  • Beijing, Backlash, and the Future of Women's Human Rights
    C o m m e n t a r y BEIJING, BACKLASH, AND THE FUTURE OF WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS Charlotte Bunch l7he United Nations (UN) FourthWorld Conference on Women, held in Beijing this September 1995, occurs at a historical juncture for women. As we increasingly make our voices heard globally, the urgent need for women to be an integral part of the decision-making processes shaping the twenty-first century has never been more pressing. Indeed, the experience of women is central to a multitude of the world's concerns ranging from religious fundamentalism and chauvinistic nationalism to the global economy. As the old world ordercontinues its process of disintegration, transition, and re-organization, the opportunity for women to be heard is enhanced precisely because new alternatives are so badly needed. However, at the same time, there looms a dangerthat women's gains in the twentieth century will be turned back by religious fundamentalist forces and/or narrowly defined patriarchal nationalisms, which seek cohesion by returning women to traditional roles. In confronting these forces, women's voices must be heard. The first UN Decade for Women, from 1976 to 1985, helped legitimize women's projects and demands for greater participation in civil society at the local, national, and inter- national levels. In the decade since the 1985 World Confer- Charlotte Bunch is Director of the Center for Women's Global Leader- ship at Rutgers University and a Professor in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, New Jersey.

  • Resolution 1325 and Post Cold-War Feminist Politics
    Resolution 1325 and post Cold-War Feminist Politics Paper under review with the International Feminist Journal of Politics – please do not circulate or quote without consulting the author. [email protected] ABSTRACT Social movement scholars credit feminist transnational advocacy networks with putting violence against women on the UN security agenda, as evidenced by resolution 1325 and numerous other UN Security Council statements on gender, peace, and security. Such accounts neglect the significance of super power politics for shaping the aims of women’s bureaucracies and NGOs in the UN system. This article highlights how the fall of the Soviet Union transformed the delineation of ‘women’s issues’ at the United Nations and calls attention to the extent that the new focus upon ‘violence against women’ has been shaped by the post Cold War US global policing practices. Resolution 1325’s call for gender-mainstreaming of peacekeeping operations reflects the tension between feminist advocates’ increased influence in security discourse and continuing reports of peacekeeper perpetrated sexual violence, abuse and exploitation. Key Words: Transnational advocacy networks, Cold War, New Wars, Democratization, Peacekeeping, Human Rights, Feminism, Violence against Women, United Nations. In October 2000, the unanimous passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 linked gender, peace, and security and recognized the need to ‘mainstream a gender perspective in peacekeeping operations.’ The Resolution authorizes monitoring of peacekeeping operations by gender experts and condemns military sexual violence. As a policy artifact this Resolution gives evidence of startling tensions in the gender politics of mainstream international security discourse in the final years of the twentieth century.

Moran: How Second-Wave Feminism Forgot the Single Woman HOW SECOND-WAVE FEMINISM FORGOT THE SINGLE WOMAN Rachel F. Moran* I cannot imagine a feminist evolution leading to radicalchange in the private/politicalrealm of gender that is not rooted in the conviction that all women's lives are important, that the lives of men cannot be understoodby burying the lives of women; and that to make visible the full meaning of women's experience, to reinterpretknowledge in terms of that experience, is now the most important task of thinking.1 America has always been a very married country. From early colonial times until quite recently, rates of marriage in our nation have been high-higher in fact than in Britain and western Europe.2 Only in 1960 did this pattern begin to change as American men and women married later or perhaps not at all.3 Because of the dominance of marriage in this country, permanently single people-whether male or female-have been not just statistical oddities but social conundrums.

  • The Clinton Administration and Recognition of Women's
    THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND RECOGNITION OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS1 KAREN GARNER Abstract: Summarizing various dimensions of transformative social change sought by transnational feminists, political scientist Mary Hawkesworth wrote in 2006: “Social change includes issue creation and agenda setting, transformation of prevailing discourses, and modification of global conventions, as well as the alteration of the procedures and policies of national governments and international institutions” (Hawkesworth, 2006, p. 68).2 All these social change components were in play as feminist activists sought to transform the substance and conduct of U.S. foreign policy during the Clinton Administration, (1993- 2001). This paper assesses events that took place during the first two years of President Clinton’s tenure in office and explains how “the administration,” that is, liberal feminist allies working inside the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), responded in limited but consequential ways to pressing women’s rights issues that feminist organization activists working outside of government defined. These two years coincided with two important United Nations world conferences: the 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights (HRC) and the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). In the 1990s, feminist nongovernmental organization activism coalesced around a series of UN conferences that marked the end of the Cold War era. Scholars often cite this NGO activism as the driving force that elevated gender consciousness among governments worldwide and stimulated the creation of a variety of national women’s policy offices to address social, political, and economic inequalities between women and men, as well as an array of women’s human rights issues.3 During this time, U.S.

Encountering Feminism: Freeing Borders in a Conservative Society By Bassmah B. AlTaher1 Abstract What made Feminism the core of my academic and spiritual journey was the multiple questions that yearned for answers. I craved to feel the warmth of echoes created by various women with their tales. I needed assurance that women were not left powerless, and that they did have a silenced voice suppressed somehow, and somewhere, which was emerging gradually in time with a sense of pride and achievement. Above all, I wanted to know if that was all there was for me? I asked myself: As an Arab woman, is yielding to the norms and laws of a patriarchal society that suppressed my individuality the only path I could follow? This paper stems from an experience in the doctoral program at the University of Jordan when studying a Feminism course in the fall of 2012, when I was first introduced to the role of media in shaping women’s voices in various contexts.
