Ioana Cirstocea. Reinventing Sisterhood after the Cold War: Practicing Transnational Feminism in the Post-communist Context. 2012. hal-00987413

Nanette Funk is one of the most active founding members of the Network of East-West Women (NEWW, see www.neww.eu): she is a radical feminist of East-European Jewish descents, professor of philosophy at New York University. Specializing in German studies, she has been active in Marxist feminist groups in New York, she had been participated in leftist conferences since the 1970s and she had been studying and travelling in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. In our interview she mentioned contacts in Hungary, Yugoslavia, East Germany and Russia as well as her grand-families based in Bratislava and Belgrade. Having eye-witnessed the collapse of Berlin Wall, she had been “fascinated” by “the transformation in front of (her) eyes” and found “extremely exciting” to have an insight on it while focusing on women‟s situation and fighting against emerging forms of gender injustice
