摘要本文认为，国际妇女民主联盟(WIDF)是1945年后推动反殖民主义的一支主要力量。这篇文章追溯了WIDF从20世纪40年代中期到1965年支持反殖民主义的方式和原因。部分答案在于WIDF成员的国际视野和背景，其中包括越来越多来自亚洲和非洲的民族主义和共产主义妇女的参与。通过分享他们对殖民压迫的看法，WIDF作为一个整体开始认识到殖民压迫和妇女压迫之间的联系。本文以越南和阿尔及利亚为例，分析了WIDF在其反殖民运动中所采取的策略。一项战略是记录殖民主义对亚洲和非洲妇女的影响，并宣传她们正在进行的殖民战争的经历。WIDF的第二个战略是为来自殖民国家的妇女提供一个平台，通过其大会和呼吁以及通过游说联合国(UN)来促进反殖民主义，特别是在违反联合国公约和原则方面。这篇文章展示了一部新的跨国反殖民激进主义历史。
ABSTRACT This article argues that the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) was a major force in promoting anti-colonialism after 1945. The article traces how and why the WIDF came to support anti-colonialism from the mid-1940s to 1965. Part of the answer lies in the cosmopolitan vision and background of the membership of the WIDF that included increasing participation from nationalist and communist women from Asia and Africa. By sharing their views on colonial oppression the WIDF as a whole came to recognise the links between colonial oppression and women's oppression. Focusing on Vietnam and Algeria, this article analyses the strategies the WIDF used in its anti-colonial activism. One strategy was to document the effects of colonialism on the women of Asia and Africa and to publicise their experiences of ongoing colonial wars. A second WIDF strategy was to provide a platform for women from colonised countries to promote anti-colonialism through its congresses and appeals and by lobbying the United Nations (UN), especially in relation to the violation of UN conventions and principles. The article presents a new history of transnational anti-colonial activism.
