This article recovers the history of the transnational women's movement that arose during Portugal's colonial wars (1961–1974). This movement connected women in Portugal and its colonies and operated independently of the PCP, MPLA, PAIGC, and FRELIMO. Most research on women's activism in Portugal, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cabo Verde, and Mozambique begins with their relationships to the male-dominated organizations that operated within national frameworks. In contrast, by examining the international connections of these women's groups, this article illuminates their political activities outside national organizations led by men. It shows that women created transnational solidarity networks struggling against the Portuguese Estado Novo and the colonial wars and, in doing so, promoted their own emancipation.

本文回顾了葡萄牙殖民战争（1961-1974）期间兴起的跨国妇女运动的历史。这一运动将葡萄牙及其殖民地的妇女联系起来，独立于 PCP、MPLA、PAIGC 和 FRELIMO 运作。大多数关于葡萄牙、安哥拉、几内亚比绍、佛得角和莫桑比克妇女行动主义的研究都是从她们与在国家框架内运作的男性主导组织的关系开始的。相比之下，通过考察这些妇女团体的国际联系，本文阐明了她们在由男性领导的国家组织之外的政治活动。它表明，妇女建立了与葡萄牙新州和殖民战争作斗争的跨国团结网络，并在这样做的过程中促进了自己的解放。
