"Just as women have always been at the nexus of the local and the global, women’s history has been and remains a matrix of transnational methods and approaches. These essays showcase a range of timely examples of why and how this has been so, offering students pathways into new ways of thinking about the networks, connections, and intersections that have shaped women’s lives."
Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois, USA
"Women in Transnational History demonstrates the wonderful results emerging from historical inquiries into the coincidence of gender and geography. The essays concern international political efforts, migrating cultural trends, traveling activism, and much more. This collection is a reminder of the continuing contribution to the vitality of transnational gender history of the International Federation of Research in Women’s History."
Ellen Dubois, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
"Women in Transnational History does exactly what it promises to do: it offers not only important contributions to a number of questions in the area of gender history, but also proposes a different approach to transnational history. Any work of late modern transnational history will henceforth need to engage with this significant work and the innovative understandings presented here of gendered forms of political and cultural agency at the global level. The case studies, although spanning two centuries and four continents, form a meaningful whole and propose fresh, critical analyses of migration, nationalism, imperialism, and how the local and the global constitute each other."

"Overall, this volume was satisfying and thought-provoking and a significant contribution to the field. I enjoyed the range of material and the varied styles and was challenged to think
about transnationalism in new ways. The introduction promised 'fresh perspectives and innovative conceptual approaches. (3)' It delivered."
