Abstract
The collective memory of feminist movements, like that of nation‐states, is comprised of 'invented traditions' and embodied in 'lieu de mémoire' (sites of memory). This essay considers national and international examples of collective memory, including International Women's Day, showing how celebrations of historical events and commemorations of the past were used to cement group cohesion and define boundaries of inclusion and exclusion. The essay proposes a typology of collective memory and examines the implications of the attenuation of memory in contemporary society.
