Global Feminisms Project

The Global Feminisms Project (GFP) originated in 2002 to create an archive of oral histories from women scholars and activists from four countries: China, India, Poland, and the USA Since then, we have added interviews from Brazil, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and Russia. The term “global” means to us that we focus on women’s movement activism and gender scholarship in several countries around “the globe,” and that we are interested in the flow of ideas, activists and scholarship across national boundaries. However, we are also and equally interested in the uniquely local features of activism and scholarship in different locations; we hope our interviews help document all of these.
