This panel contests dominant narratives of revolutionary movements as singular, homogenous, and dominated by male participants. Instead, these scholars look to alternative archives like oral histories, and reads beyond the criminalization of court cases and police files, to consider the central role of women as combatants, intellectuals, and deft navigators of revolutionary openings. Studying women, this panel shows, is more than an additive enterprise. It reorients “revolution” as a process rather than an event, expands its dynamics beyond the public realm of politics to sites of care and capacity-building, multiplies the sites of revolution to rural areas and domestic spaces, and considers revolutions as a moment of remaking political possibilities and gender relations more broadly. The panel juxtaposes global examples across the second half of the twentieth century to understand the role of women comparatively. Samar Saeed uses oral history to retrieve women’s experiences, stories, and contributions to the Palestinian Revolution in Jordan during the 60s and 70s. Diana Sierra Becerra uncovers how a multigenerational movement of women remade revolutionary theory and practice during El Salvador’s decade-long struggle for liberation. Using film, media, and state archives, Rudo Mudiwa examines the construction of “fortified masculinities” as Zimbabwe defended its revolution amid apartheid South Africa’s regional destabilization campaign. Elena McGrath considers the struggles of the Bolivian Revolution of 1952 not just for male mine workers, but for sexuality, reproductive politics, and families through the experience of worker-citizens in the copper mining city of Corocoro. This panel thus expands the role of women who have been historically relegated to the margins of revolutionary history and, in the process, redefines revolution itself.
