Questioning whether the organization acted for women's causes or whether it was merely a Cold War political instrument, the book analyzes and problematizes the place that the WIDF had in the politics of the Soviet Union, examining the ideology and politics of the WIDF and state socialist propaganda regarding women's equality and rights. Using Soviet archival documents of the organizations, the book offers a new perspective on the complexities of the development of global women's rights movement divided by the Cold War confrontations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an important study suitable for students and researchers in Women's and Gender History, Eastern European History and Gender Studies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yulia Gradskova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367504782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367504786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Yulia Gradskova","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072257683711,"sku":"9780367504786","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbfca518-c938-4405-a0c5-842624f133bd.jpg?v=1685440883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-womens-international-democratic-federation-yulia-gradskova-9780367504786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
