Women's Anti-Fascist Activism

CFP: 2011 Berkshire Conference

Dear friends,

Franca Iacovetta (Toronto) and I are looking for colleagues who wish to join a panel we are putting together for the 2011 Berkshire Women's History Conference. The current theme is women's anti-fascist activism in exile during the 1920s-1940s. It could be revised, of course. Our work will focus on new research regarding the Italian anarcho-syndicalist Virgilia D'Andrea and her comrades in NYC. Since we intend this to be a comparative session, we are particularly interested in papers dealing with anti-fascist radicals outside the Italian networks. The conference will be held June 9-12, 2011 at the Univ of Mass, Amherst. Please write to me directly at [mailto]jgugliel@smith.edu[/mailto] if you are working in this general area and have an interest in joining us.

Thanks, Jennifer
