---

In the early 1970s Angela Davis, one of the most visible faces in US Marxist
and feminist activism, visited Egypt. The result of the trip was not only a
fascinating account of her experiences, published as a chapter in her book
Women, Culture, and Politics (1990), but it also marked the formation of
new transnational connections of solidarity between Davis and numerous
Egyptian feminists. This visit and her account of it shed light on the 1950s–
1970s as a particular moment in global feminist organizing, one influenced
not only by the wave of decolonization across the third world but also by
the radical movements of the global North.
