Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This review essay engages with Dorothy Sue Cobble's <jats:italic>For The Many: American Feminists and the Global Fight for Democratic Equality</jats:italic> from the perspective of European histories of socialist feminism during the Cold War. The essay suggests three themes that might lead to further discussion. These concern first of all the role of left-Catholic as well as Social Democratic women within the networks that Cobble describes in <jats:italic>For the Many</jats:italic>; second, the influence of nationalist or other exclusionary discourses on debates about the rights of immigrant workers, and third, the role of social democratic actors in shaping debates about working women's rights in other international organizations - particularly regional organizations such as the EEC/EU. The essay concludes that <jats:italic>For the Many</jats:italic> is a major contribution to our understanding of transatlantic socialist feminisms in the Cold War world.</jats:p>
