It explores women\u2019s activism and organizing to improve the working conditions and living circumstances of lower-income and working-class women and their communities in the region and internationally.<br \/>\nMoving beyond the celebratory or partisan perspectives of many classical and some feminist labour histories, Women\u2019s Labour Activism in Eastern Europe and Beyond provides a careful historicization of women\u2019s actions in a multiscalar perspective. Through a study of diverse contexts, the authors follow women aligned with a wide range of political persuasions, highlighting unexpected elements and continuities of women\u2019s labour activism. Women\u2019s activities are seen in the workplace, in the everyday, within and across social movements and organizations, and inside the state, all presented through a framing that spotlights long-term developments and bridges the divide between the literatures on state socialist and capitalist societies concerning gendered labour politics and activism. Combining a regional focus and transnational perspectives, the authors examine the sources of women\u2019s labour activism in the region and the role of activists from the region within international women\u2019s, labour and inter-state organizations. Moving women\u2019s labour activism from the margins of labour, gender and European history to the centre of historical study, the volume makes an innovative contribution to the new global histories of labour and gender.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Another publication medium of the ZARAH project is its weblog. <a href=\"https:\/\/zarah-ceu.org\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Web)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZARAH: Women\u2019s labour activism in Eastern Europe and transnationally (Web) The members of the ZARAH project have just published their collaborative monograph.
