Description
Tracing the evolution of a major international organization's initiatives on women's rights from its founding years to the present, this book explores how early programs linked women's participation to peace, education, and development, and how feminist staff sustained advocacy during periods of financial strain and political controversy. Drawing on archival research and interviews, the narrative highlights key actors and examines the organization's adaptation to neoliberal reforms, global rivalries, and crises. It also explores the significance of female leadership in an era marked by wars and budgetary constraints, showing how gender equality programming persisted despite formidable challenges.
By situating these developments within broader debates on global governance and feminist theory, the book offers a compelling account of institutional resilience and the diffusion of norms in a changing world polity.
