Between the birth of the communist party of Tunisia in 1921 and its lasting ban in 1963, women were involved in defending its slogans. From a gender reading attentive to agency, this work sheds light on the little-known trajectories of the 183 women whose traces could be found. Reconstructed thanks to the prosopography - or collective biography - theses life paths are reinserted into the long history of the communist party in order to bring out the activities carried out and the commitments experienced. The aim is to examine, through these trajectories and in the wider context of women's activism, the weight of gender and male domination in order to question the possibility of a feminine involvement to a party egalitarian but little concerned wit 'women' as a political category. This research crosses administrative archives - notably surveillance archives - with the few documents of the communist party and its press, and with memorial archives composed of published testimonies, interviews now preserved in Tunis, but also private archives and interviews conducted with five women activists and with the children of activists met between France and Tunisia. Although these 183 women played roles and occupied positions that were partly dependent on gender and male domination, they fought, sometimes scratched gender roles or, on the contrary, used them to make their demands; their engagement had an impact on the personal and subjective upheavals expercienced by some of them. Undeniably militant and avant-garde, they discreetly paved the way for feminism of the following generations. ; Entre la naissance du parti communiste de Tunisie, en 1921, et son interdiction durable en 1963, des femmes se sont investies pour défendre ses mots d'ordre.

'Engendering the Chinese Revolutions: Radical Women, Communist Politics, and Mass Movements in the 1920s' by Christina Kelley Gilmartin is reviewed.

Christina Kelley Gilmartin rewrites the history of gender politics in the 1920s with this compelling assessment of the impact of feminist ideals on the Chinese Communist Party during its formative years. For the first time, Gilmartin reveals the extent to which revolutionaries in the 1920s were committed to women's emancipation and the radical political efforts that were made to overcome women's subordination and to transform gender relations. Women activists whose experiences and achievements have been previously ignored are brought to life in this study, which illustrates how the Party functioned not only as a political organization but as a subculture for women as well. We learn about the intersection of the personal and political lives of male communists and how this affected their beliefs about women's emancipation. Gilmartin depicts with thorough and incisive scholarship how the Party formulated an ideological challenge to traditional gender relations while it also preserved aspects of those relationships in its organization.
