ABSTRACT
The women’s movement and feminism have been transnational endeavors from their very beginnings. Although the routes transnationality took in practice were more limited than claims to global sisterhood suggested, the history of feminist politics is characterized by a variety of more or less parochial transnational entanglements. In a different way, this entanglement also characterizes feminist scholarship, which cannot be described adequately from an autocentric national perspective. Realizing feminist theory’s simultaneously translocal and situated character has undoubtedly been one of the most productive learning processes of the last three decades.
