= Global Feminisms Project = The Global Feminisms Project is a collection of interviews of feminist activists in seven countries led by a team at the University of Michigan. The focus of this project is to archive the stories of females who are activists and scholars in the context of their own countries. The seven countries represented in this project are China, India, Poland, the United States, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Russia. The interviews explore the intersection of many different forms of activism at different points in the history of the represented countries.

This project began with the integration of women's studies, an international perspective, and a focus on the activism within nations. The inter-sectional focus of the project emphasizes the relationship between women's activism and feminist scholarship. The project illuminates transformations in feminism - conceptual, organizational, and social - in each nation.

Methodology
The interviewees were selected by the team representing the project in each nation. In the interviews, the women were prompted to discuss their family and upbringing, educational and professional experiences, and activism and involvement in social movements; thus the project leaders did not control the narrative created of feminism in each country. The interviews took place in the interviewee's home country using their native language, which was later translated to English.

Significance
This project has successfully created an expansive collection of the origins of feminist activists around the world. The showing how the political is personal and vice versa in this archive has expanded the understanding of the intersection of gender and women's studies, political climates, and personal experiences.
