Like the celebrations around the world on March 8, these three books remind us that long before the global justice movements, often called the antiglobalization movements, there were the global women's move ments and the global feminist movements. Like the movements that the books try to illuminate, the books themselves are products of transna tional linkages. Two of them are based on papers presented at transna tional conferences, and the third is a reprint of essays that have appeared in the journals that constitute the transnational Feminist Journals Net work. Thus, like feminist activism, academic feminism is increasingly transnational. But what does being transnational mean? How does transnational feminism differ from local feminism? What are some of the challenges of transnational feminism? These are some of the questions that the three books address, and they do so in a rich and thoughtful man ner. Given the richness of the books, I cannot do justice to each chapter in each book but hope to highlight how the books contribute to the field and the questions that still remain.
