Second World, Second Sex: Women in Architecture Under Socialism
In Second World, Second Sex: Women in Architecture Under Socialism, author Kristen Ghodsee “rescues...lost history...of Eastern European and African women during the 1975 United Nations International Year of Women and the subsequent Decade for Women (1976-1985). Focusing on case studies of state socialist Bulgaria and nonaligned but socialist-leaning Zambia, Ghodsee examines the feminist networks that developed between the Second and Third Worlds and shows how alliances between socialist women challenged American women’s leadership of the global women’s movement.”
