Kim undercuts this standard analysis through detailed archival work in the international women's press, and finds that North Korean women asserted themselves in unexpected places from the late 1940s--just before the official beginning of the Korean War--to 1975, the year designated by the UN as International Women's Year. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy centering North Korea and the \"East,\" Kim defies convention to offer an entirely new genealogy of the global women's movement. Women of the Korean Democratic Women's Union (KDWU), as part of the global left women's movement led by the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF), insisted family and domestic issues must be part of both national and international debates, highlighting how race, nationality, sex, and class connect to form systems of colonial and capitalist exploitation. Their intersectional program claimed that there is \"no peace without justice,\" that \"the personal is the political,\" and that \"women's rights are human rights\" many decades before activists of the West embraced such agendas. \u003ci\u003eAmong Women across Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e is an archaeology of forgotten movements and ideas that became the foundation for those that have come to define our era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzy Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501767305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501767302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Suzy Kim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071540424959,"sku":"9781501767302","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a80ff803-6845-402a-ab69-7e0b51b0f91f.jpg?v=1685436709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/among-women-across-worlds-suzy-kim-9781501767302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
