In \u003ci\u003eSecond World, Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e Kristen Ghodsee rescues some of this lost history by tracing the activism of Eastern European and African women during the 1975 United Nations International Year of Women and the subsequent Decade for Women (1976-1985). Focusing on case studies of state socialist Bulgaria and nonaligned but socialist-leaning Zambia, Ghodsee examines the feminist networks that developed between the Second and Third Worlds and shows how alliances between socialist women challenged American women's leadership of the global women's movement. Drawing on interviews and archival research across three continents, Ghodsee argues that international ideological competition between capitalism and socialism profoundly shaped the world women inhabit today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristen Ghodsee is Professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of eight books, including \u003ci\u003eRed Hangover: Legacies of Twentieth-Century Communism\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press, and most recently, \u003ci\u003eWhy Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52624510746931,"sku":"9781478001812","price":53.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/NkovMXl2TXA0bTVreElmdXJQQXUzZz09.webp?v=1762009093","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/second-world-second-sex-socialist-womens-activism-and-global-solidarity-during-the-cold-war-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
