This article examines the 1966 Tricontinental Conference held in Havana based on documents from the archives of the Organization of Solidarity with the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL), analyzing how the organization fostered connections with prominent communist women in the Eastern Bloc, most notably activists affiliated with the Women’s International Democratic Federation (WIDF). In doing so, the work explores the multiplicity of transnational connections between the Global South and East. The underexplored genealogies introduced by a historical examination of the female exchanges fostered by the Tricontinental movement help reveal a wide range of networks where the Socialist Bloc and the Global South also interacted with other spaces such as the United Nations, composing a little-known framework of remarkable interest for the historiographical renewal of transnational gender studies in the context of the Cold War.
