Vincent Streichhahn and Frank Jacob have published an anthology that focuses on the subject of the women's and workers' movements and their interconnections. Focusing on the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the selected authors elaborate on the interrelations between the two movements. With their publication, the editors affirm that the women's movement cannot be told without the workers' movement. They also criticise the patriarchal historiography that is responsible for the invisibility of the research category "gender". With this volume, they pursue the goal of counteracting this historiography and using historical retrospectives to illustrate the entanglements of national and international perspectives on the categories of "gender" and "class".
