Natalia Jarska has published the following article (open access):
"The Women’s Movement in Poland and International Women’s Year. International Encounters", in Aspasia, The International Yearbook of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern European Women's and Gender History, vol. 19.
Abstract:
"In this article, I chart the contributions of Polish women activists before and during
International Women’s Year. Following the actions of three high-profile women—Krystyna
Gromek, Wanda Tycner, and Zofia Wasilkowska—I focus on the “imagined international
community” shaped by leaders of the movement and reveal the diversity
and complexity of Polish women’s international activism at home and abroad. By exploring
how these women deployed their expertise and exerted influence both on how
the International Women’s Year agenda was addressed on a national scale and how
the situation in Poland was presented to the rest of the world, I challenge claims that
the Polish women’s movement at this time had turned away from internationalism. I
also show that women’s internationalism prioritized global struggles of the women’s
movement over current political demands."
