ABSTRACT
Over the years, transnational feminist mobilization has come to serve as a primary source of inspiration for theorists of cosmopolitan democracy and new social movements. The status afforded to the feminist movement as a harbinger for an incipient global civil society is indicative of the success that women have had in joining across boundaries for purposes of fighting against fundamentalism, militarization, neoliberalism, and various forms of discrimination and struggling for human rights and social and economic justice. In this sense, transnational feminism is key to the social imaginary described as ‘globalization-from-below,’ an intersection of efforts of various groups to redirect the focus of economic and social development from an economistic market/modernization notion of progress to questions of global justice and equality.
