History of International Relations, Diplomacy and Intelligence, 14 (History of International Relations Library, 14) Historians are beginning to hone their use of the concept of transnationalism as an analytic tool to understand the ideas, networks, and activities of individuals and organizations working across and above the nation-state. This volume brings together the work of historians who consider women as transnational activists from the late nineteenth century to the years following the Second World War. The authors deepen our understanding of the complex ways in which individuals and organizations sought to achieve goals such as women's rights, peace, racial equality and medical relief. By analyzing the complexities of these women's lives and activism, the authors challenge the traditional narrative of international relations history and broaden our understanding of women's history and activism.
