“…Certainly, imperialism did not end with Bandung, and newly appointed chiefs of state reproduced a pedagogical style of politics which emphasized catching up with Western modernity through development and modernization (Chakrabarty 2010). However, this discourse of national sovereignty and international equality opened up possibilities for women's activism and transnational cooperation (Jain and Chacko 2009).…”

The essay addresses contemporary discussions on women's transnationalism and women's agency by looking at the first conference of the UN Decade for Women held in Mexico City in 1975, and at its specific embedding in Cold War geopolitics. Through an engagement with different feminist and activists voices, and particularly with the less visible anti-imperialist, Non-Aligned and socialist genealogies of women's activism expressed during the meeting, the essay argues that the paradigm of Western feminist knowledge production needs to be revisited, in order to encompass multiple forms of women's political agency that are not expressed through the liberal framework of women's individual autonomy from the state. By juxtaposing Betty Friedan's and Vida Tomšič's stances during the Mexico City event, the paper shows that women's political agency during the Cold War era took different forms, which included both the refusal and the acceptance of women's activism within existing national and international institutions.

“…Topics not directly related to the promotion of sexual equality, they argued, should be handled (by men) in the General Assembly. Rejecting this view, socialist women, as well as women affiliated to the Non-Aligned Movement, protested that a women’s conference should allow them a chance to address all issues that impacted the lives of women (Jain and Chacko, 2009; Ghodsee, 2014; Bonfiglioli, 2016).…”
