ABSTRACT
Th e chapters of this book have traced the links between feminists in the global North and their counterparts in the South, across the barriers of class and gender in Brazil, and between women’s movements there and their feminist allies in international development agencies in Europe and the United States. Th e narrative has moved from the arena of culture to the space of politics and on to economic ebbs and fl ows, fi nding increasingly greater obstacles to the construction of collaborative social movement relationships. We have seen women’s movements draw on transnational discourses, exchange political resources, and navigate the shoals of international funding. Th rough their struggles and appropriations, alliances and negotiations, movements like SOS Corpo and the MMTR helped constitute and sustain a transnational feminist counterpublic in the late twentieth century.
