在20世纪50年代，对民主社会主义的承诺将欧洲和亚洲的知识分子、活动家和政治活动家的网络联系起来。其中许多人是妇女，她们建立了非正式和亲密的团结网络，支持了这场运动。欧洲和亚洲社会主义妇女之间的大量通信表明了她们在国际社会主义电路中作为全球和地方民间社会联系人的作用。报告还指出，友谊、流动性和好客是维持这种网络的关键因素，也是建立信任的关键因素，有助于交流颠覆性信息。虽然亚洲在1950年代被视为国际社会主义的巨大希望，但到了1960年代中期，许多社会主义政党已经崩溃，这表明在全球反共和独裁国家崛起的情况下，国际社会主义对亚洲妇女的限制。然而，跨国社会主义网络帮助欧洲和亚洲妇女在亚洲非殖民化过程中进一步开展两性平等、发展和民主社会主义运动，为国际主义历史增添了重要的新内容。
In the 1950s, a commitment to democratic socialism connected networks of intellectuals, activists and political operators in both Europe and Asia. Many of these were women, who built informal and intimate networks of solidarity that underpinned the movement. The rich set of correspondence between European and Asian socialist women speaks to their role as connectors of global and local civil society within international socialist circuits. It also indicates the importance of friendship, mobility and hospitality as a crucial factor in sustaining such networks, as well as building the trust that facilitated the exchange of subversive information. While Asia was seen as the great hope of international socialism in the 1950s, by the middle of the 1960s, many of its socialist parties had imploded, pointing to the limits of international socialism for Asian women amidst global anti-communism and the rise of authoritarian states. Transnational socialist networks nonetheless helped further both European and Asian women’s campaigns for gender equality, development and democratic socialism in decolonizing Asia, adding vital new dimensions to the history of internationalism.
