Using 150 years of women's history, this book details how women have
organized into global movements which have shaped and challenged how
international organizations consider gender. It argues that traditional
ways of analysing international relations have ignored women's
contributions because their tools are gender-exclusive. After developing
a gender analysis, this book brings to light many contributions from
women's movements especially related to the League of Nations and United
Nations, and puts these in the context of changes in the global
political economy.
