Rosa Manus (1881-1942): The International Life and Legacy of a Jewish Dutch Feminist: Studies in Jewish History and Culture, cartea 51

Editat de Myriam Everard, Francisca de Haan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 noi 2016
Rosa Manus (1881–1942) uncovers the life of Dutch feminist and peace activist Rosa Manus, co-founder of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, vice-president of the International Alliance of Women, and founding president of the International Archives for the Women’s Movement (IAV) in Amsterdam, revealing its rootedness in Manus’s radical secular Jewishness. Because the Nazis looted the IAV (1940) including Manus’s large personal archive, and subsequently arrested (1941) and murdered her (1942), Rosa Manus has been almost unknown to later generations. This collective biography offers essays based on new and in-depth research on pictures and documents from her archives, returned to Amsterdam in 2003, as well as other primary sources. It thus restores Manus to the history from which the Nazis attempted to erase her.

Contributors include: Margot Badran, Mineke Bosch, Ellen Carol DuBois, Myriam Everard, Karen Garner, Francisca de Haan, Dagmar Wernitznig, and Annika Wilmers.

"The volume touches on all of the important themes of that history—the centrality of peace activism, the impact of the world wars and the rise of fascism, the tensions over imperialism and nationalist resistance in colonized countries, the importance of resources to the persistence of the movement, the vital glue of intimate relationships—and brings to the fore additional ones, including the role of Jewish women, the centrality of Dutch feminists in transnational feminism, and the struggle over preserving the history of the movement." - Leila J. Rupp, University of California, Santa Barbara, in: Women's History Review (2018)

Recenzii

"The volume touches on all of the important themes of that history—the centrality of peace activism, the impact of the world wars and the rise of fascism, the tensions over imperialism and nationalist resistance in colonized countries, the importance of resources to the persistence of the movement, the vital glue of intimate relationships—and brings to the fore additional ones, including the role of Jewish women, the centrality of Dutch feminists in transnational feminism, and the struggle over preserving the history of the movement." - Leila J. Rupp, University of California, Santa Barbara, in: Women's History Review (2018)
"Eindelijk een boek dat licht werpt op een van de belangrijkste Nederlandse feministen [...]. Veel aspecten van dit rijke, tot nu toe vrijwel onbekende leven komen aan bod in het voorbeeldig uitgegeven Rosa Manus (1881-1942). [...] Uiteindelijk gaat het boek over iemand die niet in hokjes past, en die in verzet komt als zij tegen wil en dank het etiket Joods opgeplakt krijgt. Zowel de tekst als foto's tonen ook daadwerkelijk aan dat Rosa Manus vele gezichten had. Voor mij laat dit boek zien dat hoe waardevol én ingewikkeld de strijd tegen de etikettering is, vroeger en nu." - Marjan Schwegman, in: de Nederlandse Boekengids, November 2017, pp. 28-29
