It is worth imagining, therefore, what would happen to international politics if more nationalist movements were informed by women’s multilayered experiences of oppression. If more nation-states grew out of feminist nationalists’ ideas and experiences, then community identities within the international political system might be tempered by cross-national identities. Resolutions of interstate conflicts would be more sustainable, because the significance of women to those conflicts would be considered directly. They would not be dismissed as too trivial to be the topic of serious state-to-state negotiation. - b4995294167has quotedlast year“When feminist solidarity networks are today proposed and extended globally, without a firm sense of identity—national, racial and class—we are likely to yield to feminist models designed by and for white, middle-class women in the industrial West and uncritically adopt these as our own.”
