WomenhuNET: Women's Transnational Humanitarian Networks. Anti-Fascist British Women and Europe Refugees (1900-1950)
| Zusammenfassung | British women played a vital but largely overlooked role in saving anti-fascist activists and European refugees in the 1930s and 1940s. However, the existing historiography tends to understand these women solely within the British context and not within the transnational, European networks in which they operated. Yet we argue that British women's humanitarian activism was configured as a network, had a transnational dimension and brought together the postulates of early 20th century feminism and 1930s antifascism. Accordingly, WomenhuNET focuses on analysing the trajectories of British women who mobilised to help refugees fleeing fascism, with the aim of reconstructing the women's transnational humanitarian networks in which their activism was inserted. This approach will also help us better understand the origins of the European Union, and the place of the UK in these beginnings, which in part grew out of the anti-fascist tradition and the defence of democratic values. This project will address three main questions: what social and political pathways led British women to become involved in anti-fascist refugee relief campaigns and what was the transformative impact of their actions and rhetoric?, which transnational networks they were part of during their anti-fascist humanitarian activism? and what identities, power and authority they developed during and after their humanitarian experience and how gender and the transnational action shaped them? Following a methodology of micro-historical and transnational analysis, we will work with a large corpus of primary sources scarcely explored to date, deposited in archives of the UK, Spain, France, Switzerland, Netherlands and the US. The results will be disseminated in a variety of ways, notably through an international conference, an article in high-impact journals and a book submitted to a major university press. |
