The phenomenon of presumably straight girls kissing and making out with other girls at college parties and at bars is everywhere in contemporary popular culture, from Katy Perry's hit song, "I Kissed a Girl," to a Tyra Banks online poll on attitudes toward girls who kiss girls in bars, to AskMen.com 's "Top 10: Chick Kissing Scenes."

In this article, we use the concept of emotion culture, drawn from social constructionist approaches to emotions, to understand how women in the three major transnational women's organizations from the late nineteenth century through the WWII built solidarity across national boundaries in order to work for women's rights & peace. The analysis focuses on how the gendered emotion culture of the international women's movement promoted a loving community that transcended national rivalries. We identify three socialization processes: (1) staging expressive public rituals of reconciliation between women who stood on opposite sides of national conflicts; (2) forming intense affective ties across national boundaries; & (3) drawing on the emotional template of mother love. 51 References.

Our analysis focuses on how the gendered emotion culture of the international women's movement, from the late 19th century through the WWII, promoted a loving community that had the potential to transcend national rivalries. We identify three types of emotional labor activists engaged in to build solidarity & positive affect among feminist internationalists: (1) staging expressive public rituals of reconciliation between women who stood on opposite sides of national conflicts; (2) forming intense affective ties across national boundaries; & (3) drawing on the emotional template of mother love.
