ABSTRACTThe global women’s movement has been one of the key actors in the origins and development of current United Nations (UN) treaties for women’s human rights, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW, 1979). The text of the Preamble to CEDAW, particularly, resulted from non-Western perspectives on women’s organising around the UN International Women’s Year (1975) and the UN Decade for Women (1976–1985). This article traces the longer history of CEDAW and discusses the CEDAW Committee’s subsequent work since the mid-1980s to expand and renew the Treaty by adopting the so-called General Recommendations. It argues that the CEDAW Committee in recent years developed a holistic and explicitly intersectional approach, in line with the Convention’s original but often overlooked Preamble.KEYWORDS: CEDAWUN Decade for Womenwomen’s human rightswomen’s activismintersectionality AcknowledgmentsI am very grateful to Natalia Jarska for inviting me to participate in the international workshop ‘International Women’s Year in 1975 and the UN Decade for Women.

摘要全球妇女运动是联合国妇女人权条约的起源和发展的关键因素之一,例如《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》(CEDAW, 1979)。《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》序言的文本,特别是源于非西方国家对妇女在联合国国际妇女年(1975年)和联合国妇女十年(1976-1985年)前后组织活动的看法。本文追溯了《消除对妇女歧视公约》较长的历史,并讨论了消除对妇女歧视公约委员会自1980年代中期以来通过所谓的《一般性建议》扩大和延长《条约》的后续工作。它认为,消除对妇女歧视委员会近年来根据《公约》最初但经常被忽视的序言,制定了一项全面和明确的交叉办法。【关键词】联合国妇女十年妇女人权十年妇女活动交叉领域感谢纳塔莉亚·雅斯卡邀请我参加1975年国际妇女年国际讲习班和联合国妇女十年。接待,影响和遗产”,由马德里康普顿斯大学于2021年5月组织,导致了这篇文章。我还要感谢手稿的审稿人,他在概念的使用上提出了一些相关的澄清,特别是Francisca de Haan,她的宝贵意见和想法帮助改进了手稿。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1见Arvonne Fraser,《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》(《妇女公约》),载于《妇女、政治与联合国》,安妮·温斯洛主编(伦敦:格林伍德出版社,1995年);安·泰勒·艾伦、安妮·科娃和琼·珀维斯编。,《国际女权主义》特刊,《妇女历史评论》第19期。4 .(2010年9月朱迪斯·雷斯尼克,《法律的迁移:美国例外论、沉默对话和联邦制的多个入境口岸》,《耶鲁法律杂志》115期,第2期。7 (2006): 1564-670;Susanne Zwingel,《从政府间谈判到(次)国家变革》《消除对妇女歧视公约影响的跨国视角》,《国际女性主义政治杂志》,第7期。3 (2006): 400-24;Susanne Zwingel,翻译国际妇女权利:《消除对妇女歧视公约》(Palgrave Macmillan出版社,2016);Debra Liebowitz和Susanne Zwingel,“过度简化的性别平等:CEDAW和测量痴迷”,《国际研究评论》2014年第16期:362-89;Loveday Hodson,《妇女权利与边缘:消除对妇女歧视公约任择议定书》,《欧洲国际法杂志》第25期。2 (2014): 561-578;Ruth a .

ABSTRACTThis paper provides a comparative study of the impact of the 1975 International Women’s Year (IWY) on women’s activism in two non-democratic European countries: Spain and Poland. Intended by the United Nations (UN) to advance women’s rights globally, the effects of IWY were significantly influenced by national contexts. In Spain, activities relating to IWY unfolded in two interconnected spheres: the official arena controlled by the authorised Francoist women’s organisation, and the unofficial, where legal and illegal activists came together to combine a feminist agenda with anti-Francoist activity. At both levels, transnational and international relations were established or further developed during IWY. In Poland, celebrations were dominated by state-approved women’s organisations to a far greater extent, although diverse initiatives did develop on the margins, providing a space for critical debate on gender equality. However, IWY neither provided a trigger for grassroots women’s activism in Poland, nor significantly secured women’s issues on the anti-regime agenda.KEYWORDS: International Women’s Yeardictatorshipwomen’s rightswomen’s activism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Jocelyn Olcott, International Women’s Year: The Greatest Consciousness-Raising Event in History (New York, NY, 2017); Judith P Zinsser, ‘From Mexico to Copenhagen to Nairobi: The United Nations Decade for Women, 1975–1985’, Journal of World History 13, no. 1 (2002): 139–68.2 Kristen Ghodsee, ‘Rethinking State Socialist Mass Women’s Organizations: The Committee of the Bulgarian Women’s Movement and the United Nations Decade for Women, 1975–1985(1)’, Journal of Women’s History 24, no. 4 (2012): 49–73, https://doi.org/10.1353/jowh.2012.0044; Raluca Maria Popa, ‘Translating Equality between Women and Men across Cold War Divides: Women Activists from Hungary and Romania and the Creation of International Women’s Year’, in Gender Politics and Everyday Life in State Socialist Eastern and Central Europe, ed.

The article discusses the significance of the International Women's Year (IWY) and the United Nations (UN) Decade for Women for the development of Global South-oriented advocacy by feminists in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the role of home economists from the 1950s until the 1980s in relation to small domestic electrical appliances when home economists promoted these small electrical products and began to have a role in their development and evaluation. It is argued that education for home economists and their professional role developed during this period as they became mediators between producers and consumers. It captures the changing role of women in the electricity and appliance industry during the period up to the late 1980s, when the role of the home economist in these areas began to decline. Further and higher education syllabuses were developed and refined in response to the growth of employment opportunities, particularly for home economists in the electricity and appliance industry. This article therefore draws upon both a case study of the Polytechnic of North London home economics syllabuses and an oral history of Jenny Webb, a leading home economist in the electricity industry.KEYWORDS: Home economicselectricity industryelectrical applianceshigher educationconsumerism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Jenny Webb and Matt Cresswell, A Jenny Job—My Life Electric (UK: Independently published, 2021).2 Eleanor Peters, ‘“On the Fringe of the Technical World”: Female Electrical Appliance Demonstrators in Interwar Scotland’, Women's History Review 31, no. 2 (2022) looked at this area and Carroll Pursell, ‘Domesticating Modernity: The Electrical Association for Women, 1924–86’, The British Journal for the History of Science 32, no. 1 (1999) covered the whole period of its existence.3 Megan J.

ABSTRACTThis article uses the Women’s Co-operative Guild’s evidence to the 1912 Royal Commission on divorce to explore working-class women’s views about, and experiences of, marriage and divorce in the early twentieth century. Unlike any other evidence presented to the Commission the Guild’s was directly based on testimony from working-class women. These had been collected in letters from members to the Guild’s General Secretary, Margaret Llewelyn Davies, who testified on its behalf to the Commission. The bulk of the letters were from wives and mothers who generally came from better off sections of the working class. They confirm Guild members’ overwhelming support for some degree of reform to current laws, along with more limited backing for Davies’ radical proposals for divorce on grounds of mutual consent. The article demonstrates that these letters provide vivid detailed testimony of the impact of domestic abuse, of wives’ financial dependence on their husbands, and of the gender inequality enshrined in contemporary divorce laws. It argues that support for reform was often combined with a Christian conviction that marriage should be a ‘sacred bond’, and highlights a common vision of marriage as a relationship of equals.KEYWORDS: Women’s Co-operative Guilddivorcemarriagereform AcknowledgementsFor comments on earlier drafts of this article many thanks to Maggie Andrews, Jan Lomas, Anna Muggeridge, Frances Pine and the two anonymous reviewers.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Minutes of Evidence, 151.2 Margaret Llewelyn Davies, ‘The Claims of Mothers and Children’, in Women and the Labour Party, ed.

摘要本文利用1912年英国妇女合作社协会对皇家离婚委员会的证据,探讨20世纪初工人阶级妇女对婚姻和离婚的看法和经历。与提交给委员会的其他证据不同,该协会的证词直接基于工人阶级妇女的证词。这些都是会员写给公会秘书长玛格丽特·卢埃林·戴维斯的信中收集的,她代表公会向委员会作证。大部分信件来自妻子和母亲,她们通常来自较富裕的工人阶级。他们证实了公会成员对现行法律进行某种程度的改革的压倒性支持,以及对戴维斯关于双方同意离婚的激进建议的更有限的支持。文章表明,这些信件生动详细地证明了家庭暴力的影响,妻子对丈夫的经济依赖,以及当代离婚法中所体现的性别不平等。它认为,对改革的支持往往与基督教认为婚姻应该是一种“神圣的纽带”的信念结合在一起,并强调了婚姻是一种平等关系的共同愿景。对于本文早期草稿的评论,非常感谢Maggie Andrews, Jan Lomas, Anna Muggeridge, Frances Pine和两位匿名审稿人。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1《证据分钟》,151.2 Margaret Llewelyn Davies,“母亲和孩子的要求”,《妇女和工党》,Marion Phillips主编(伦敦:Headley, 1918), 29.3《证据分钟》,149-73,Margaret Llewelyn Davies和Eleanor Barton的证据。参见:妇女合作社协会,工作妇女和离婚,在皇家离婚委员会前代表妇女合作社协会提供的证据说明(伦敦:大卫·纳特,1911年)4 .玛格丽特·卢埃林·戴维斯主编,《我们所知道的生活》(伦敦:维拉戈出版社,1977)和《母性》,《职业妇女来信》(伦敦:维拉戈出版社,1978)Jean Gaffin和David Thoms,《关怀与分享》,妇女合作社协会百年历史(曼彻斯特:合作社联盟,1983);吉莉安·斯科特,女权主义和职业妇女的政治(伦敦:伦敦大学学院出版社,1998年)和“制定自己的救赎:妇女的自治和离婚法改革在合作社运动,1910-1920年”,在合作的新观点,编辑斯蒂芬杨(伦敦:劳特利奇,1988年);6 .

Using the oral life-histories of women who were in long-term heterosexual intercultural romantic relationships, the article examines the food preparation and consumption practices of their intercultural households in 1960s–1990s Leicester, England. The women’s narratives expand our historical understanding of how migration to Britain since 1945 has affected domestic foodways. The women’s memories illustrate their proactive interaction with, or resistance to, the cultural traditions and practices of their male partners. They show the extent to which cultural exchange permeated life together, including through the couples’ social gatherings with families and friends. The article argues the women’s execution of their food management responsibilities variably reshaped and adapted their sense of self and the cultural identities of those they were responsible for feeding—a nuanced perspective on the origins, and success or otherwise, of Britain’s multicultural society.

They show the extent to which cultural exchange permeated life together, including through the couples’ social gatherings with families and friends. The article argues the women’s execution of their food management responsibilities variably reshaped and adapted their sense of self and the cultural identities of those they were responsible for feeding—a nuanced perspective on the origins, and success or otherwise, of Britain’s multicultural society.","PeriodicalId":358940,"journal":{"name":"Women's History Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135462786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyses the evolution of mass petitioning within the woman suffrage movement in the United States, with a focus on the decade leading up to the ratification of the 19th Amendment (1920). Its central argument is that suffrage activists skilfully and imaginatively refashioned what was a venerable form of mobilization. In their hands, the petition served a range of purposes beyond enacting legislative change. It was a fulcrum for public parades and pilgrimages that grabbed public and press attention. In the form of the initiative petition, it was a tool to put the question of woman suffrage directly before voters. When aimed at individual lawmakers, and even in the face of a deadly pandemic, petition campaigns served to swing crucial votes. Focussing on the petition helps us to rethink certain aspects of the suffrage movement. It draws our attention to the role of rank-and-file activists on the ground. Furthermore, while reinforcing the importance of racial division, it challenges the notion of a movement split into radical and conservative wings. Whatever their differences, both sides understood the value of petitioning in an era of mass democracy.
