Red Love and Proletarian Femmes Fatales

This project brings together scholars of radical history and literature across America, Japan, Korea, China, Australia and New Zealand. Under the rubric of Red Love, we map the intimate lives and representation of proletarian and socialist women across time and national borders. Examining film, literary texts, journalism, biographies, and the historical events they were a part of, this project examines the transnational trade in representation of a new, radical, often working-class, female subjectivity.
