The chapter starts by providing an original historical narrative of post-1945 global feminisms seen through the prism of transnational encounter, transfer, and resignification across languages and cultures. It offers an historical framework, which involves re-thinking the actors and periodisation of the existing, and recently thriving, scholarship on global feminisms. It reflects on the role played by transfer and translation in relation to war and de-colonisation, politicisation of sex and the body, and the dissemination of concepts such as gender and intersectionality. In the final section, the key concepts adopted in this book—politics of location and resignification—are introduced and situated in this historical narrative, and the key contributions of the book chapters are highlighted.
