Is the near absence of a recent history of Second World women’s organizing simply a by-product of the collapse of Soviet and Eastern European socialism? A by-product of Western capitalism’s “victory”?
Kristen Ghodsee: The erasure of East European women’s activism together with that of the activism of their socialist allies in the Global South happened both because the East collapsed and because the West declared victory and could subsequently control and direct the historical narrative.
The 1990s ushered in a period of utter chaos and social, political, and economic upheaval in Eastern Europe. Many activists and scholars left the region to work or study in the West where the totalitarian paradigm still had a strong grip on the historiography of the Cold War.
