Based on a call for testimonials launched in 2020, this brief report seeks to address the way in which higher education and research (HER), as a working environment, conditions relationships to motherhood according to various experiences in the constrained and competitive climate in which we live. In the context of the struggles of recent months, one of the objectives of which has been precisely to draw public attention to and debate on our working conditions, the aim is to stimulate thinking on the careers and professions of women in HER. From doctoral and post-doctoral students to tenured staff, the colleagues who responded to the call underlined the multidimensional nature of the relations of domination that play out around the desire to have children, to be a mother and to assume parental responsibilities. These relationships operate at all levels, but to different degrees and in different forms depending on status, institutions, disciplines and trajectories (social and academic). Nevertheless, a convergence is emerging: the production by HER institutions of timescales modelled on male practices and representations of academic professions, which affect the subjectivity of women workers and hinder their plans to build a family. This situation is obviously aggravated by the structural insecurity of the professions dedicated to the production and transmission of knowledge, by the fragmentation of labour collectives and the dominant value placed on competitiveness. Furthermore, the difficulties we encountered in putting together the report make it possible to point out that the issue of maternity raises the voice of women on a subject that is both political and intimate, indirectly reflecting social and gender violence and blockages, but also defence strategies that must be discussed more urgently than ever before.

Drawing on the case of the Lip women’s group, this article analyzes emancipatory practices confronted with the effects of cumulative gender and class-based dominations. The aim is to show that a radical questioning of class-based social relations does not necessarily lead to a reshaping of gender-based social relations. The achievement of the liberation process even appears to be a twofold challenge for the women workers. For this reason, the focus will be on biographical accounts in order to better understand how emancipatory practices unfold at the crossroads of several kinds of power relations and different levels of collective action.

This article consists of an inquiry about the Turkish feminist movement as an indicator of the past and present political stakes (ever since the founding of the nationstate, to the querying movements of the last two decades). The author interrogates the specificity of the totalitarian and oppressive regimes in Turkey through the lens of the local social movements and the diversity of forms of protest. The feminist movement is the first to introduce to the political sphere topics such as sexuality, body, marriage, reproduction, family - i.e. subjects that, until the 1980s, were considered to be private, and therefore non-political. The Turkish example stresses the complex and relational (and thus dynamic) character of the social protest, conceived as both reality and action. Hence, even a society full of constraints imposed by a monopolistic power, although blocking collective action, can create favourable political circumstances for different forms of protest as well as for alliances, even if sometimes only punctual.

Pretendemos discutir sobre o tema dos "sujeitos feministas no campo político", levando em consideração as transformações discursivas pelas quais o campo do movimento feminista vem passando nas ultimas décadas. Esses discursos mostravam-se consoantes com os contextos de embates políticos atuais, indicando: a) novas ações no mundo político, b) disputas pelo reconhecimento de novas identidades dentro do feminismo, e c) a evidência da problemática do(s) sujeito(s) do feminismo como uma questão central para o movimento feminista brasileiro na atualidade. Nosso objetivo com este artigo é discutir essas mudanças no interior do feminismo brasileiro a partir da análise comparativa de dois momentos distintos: o 3º e o 10º 'Encontro Feminista Latino-Americano e do Caribe', ambos ocorridos no Brasil, respectivamente, em 1985 e em 2005.We intend to discuss the theme "feminist subjects on the political field", considering the discursive changes for which the field of the feminist movement has been going in the last decades. These discourses showed consonance with the contexts of the late political struggles, indicating: a) new actions in the political environment, b) disputes on recognizing new identities within the feminism, and c) the evidence of the problematic of feminist subjects as a central theme for the Brazilian feminist movement nowadays. Our goal with this article is to discuss these changes within Brazilian feminism through the comparative analysis of two distinct moments: the third and the tenth 'Latin-American and Caribbean Feminist Meeting' both happened in Brazil, in 1985 and 2005, respectively.

While focused on biographical writing, this article does not recount the life of Frenchwoman Marguerite Thibert (1886–1982)—intellectual, international official at the International Labour Office and a woman engaged in feminism, socialism and pacifism. It outlines instead a research itinerary, setting out a problematic and an approach. After establishing the place of biographical practice in history writing, it explains what makes Marguerite Thibert interesting, before discussing the available source material and writing choices, and inscribing this figure in the general history of the twentieth century.

This article presents the results of a research on gender relations in people's movements conducted in two working class neighbourhoods in Argentina and Brazil by a network of local researchers within the framework of Unesco's MOST programme. The research shows that women actively participate in the neighbourhood's organisations to resist, organise services, and undertake activities. While confronted to multiple difficulties, they claim and open new spaces of negotiation and intervention, questioning the power relations between men and women at the domestic and neighbourhood levels. This article discusses how another way of thinking and doing politics in these territories is under construction and how these women engage in feminist practices of social change.

This work considers current models for understanding tactical interaction among social movements actors and finds them insufficient for making sense of the tactical work required of the Irish women's movement. Analysis of Irish feminist efforts to expand reproductive freedom calls into question the idea that tactical innovations are solely responses to countermovements or state repression. "Friendly fire" refers to the process by which nonoppositional groups within and around, but not of, a movement threatens movement aims. Observational work focused on feminist campaign meetings and political theater yields significant insights concerning the effects of friendly fire and, specifically, the role of men in women's movements.

This article investigates the genealogy of the gender "parity" claim, which appeared in France at the beginning of the 1990s. It explores the efforts made by women's groups to increase the presence of women in elected assemblies since the emergence of a Second wave feminism (in the early 1970s), focusing on the 1980s - which was a period of latency for the women's movement. The article distinguishes three phases: in the first half of the 1970s, the French Second wave women's movement, which defined itself as mainly radical, was reluctant to play the game of formal political representation. The issue of the representation of women was only raised by a few, symbolically dominated fractions of the women's movement (party women and traditional female organizations representatives). From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, a few women's groups at the meeting point between Second wave feminism and electoral politics began to raise the issue of female representation in politics. Finally, the second half of the 1980s witnessed the construction, both in international organizations and in French academic circles, of a new body of feminist expertise with regards to the issue of political power. The article concludes that the new collective action frame of "parity" was elaborated at the meeting point of these three currents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Worm March of Women (WMW) Against Poverty and Violence Against Women has proven to be a strong vehicle for feminist activism at the local and global levels. This article addresses the challenges and learnings of the March as a movement and offers thoughts on the power of united action, feminism as a transformative force, the importance and the challenges of diversity, plurality, global solidarity and alliances. The new four-year plan confirms that the WMW has become a force to be reckoned with and a tool for pursuing a vision of a world free of patriarchy and neoliberalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
