“…Jane Addams was the first honorary president of the Pan Pacific Women's Association, founded in 1928 not only to mobilize women in the Pacific region but also specifically to combat racism and to foster interracial alliances. This focus opened up possibilities particularly for African‐American women, especially after World War II (Paisley, , ; Yasutake, , ). Ellen DuBois () has pointed out that examining the international story of women's suffrage from the perspective of the Pacific not only decenters the United States, it also brings to light the ways in which some suffragists in other countries chose to reject U.S. ideologies in their own campaigns for the vote.…”

Since its publication in 1997, Leila Rupp's Worlds of Women: The Making of an International Women's Movement has been hailed as a ground‐breaking work of scholarship on women's internationalism. This essay considers its impact for U.S. historians in particular, examining how it has led to new studies of U.S. women internationalists and of U.S. women's engagement with women around the world. It has also furthered efforts to globalize the history of the United States, to reperiodize the field of U.S. women's history, and to diversify the field of U.S. foreign relations.

There are many examples today of transnational advocacy groups, and much scholarship to identify how their growing presence contributes to understanding new and complex forms of global governance. This article seeks to present a corrective to the general trend to regard the “transnational” as a specific site of political engagement, and instead it draws principally on the work of Henri Lefebvre and scholarship from Human Geography to find ways to examine transnational advocacy as the ongoing process resulting from intersecting and diverse experiences of individuals and groups. In so doing, it aims further to redefine the spatiality of activism, by questioning how advocates determine the physical borders within which they function alongside those cognitive borders to which they attach themselves, and how those very borders are constantly redefined by their interactions. Using illustrative examples from Asia, this article proposes the need to rethink the transnational along three intersecting dimensions.
