Because feminism is an international movement, and because many women
from poor countries have been educated in the West and brought back
feminist ideas with them? Weren't nationalism and socialism imported
from the West into poorer countries?


How does that explain the death or absence of women leaders of
Communist Parties and other socialist formations in the West?
