| Title | 'Feminism Gurbette [Abroad]': A Political and Transnational History of Two Generations of Turkish Migrant Left-Feminist Women and Their Organizations in the United Kingdom, West Germany, and the Netherlands (1974-1990) |
| Summary | This dissertation offers a political and transnational history of Turkish migrant women’s left-feminist organizations established in three west-European countries in 1974-1975, in particular, the Union of Turkish Women in Britain (ITKB), the Union of Turkish Women in the Netherlands (HTKB), the Union of Turkish Women in West Berlin (BTKB), and the Women’s Union in Gelsenkirchen (GKB); as well as of two related organizations, established in and/or operating from Denmark in the early 1980s: the Progressive Women’s Association (IKD)’s Office Abroad, and the Women’s Bureau of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP). The latter two were set up by former IKD cadres and TKP members who had become political refugees after the 1980 military coup in Turkey, and maintained transnational connections and collaborations between the various organizations across national borders. |
