abstract="In 1995, over 30,000 women's rights advocates attended the United Nations (UN) Fourth World Conference on Women and made a substantial difference in conference outcomes. However, advocates' achievements at their &quot;own&quot; conference was not the central gain of the 1990s. It was their success in &quot;gendering the agenda&quot; of the other global conferences of the 1990s: mainstreaming gender analysis into areas considered &quot;gender-neutral&quot; and prioritizing women's rights as integral to conference goals. However, the success of the transnational women's rights movement was accompanied by a major challenge: the development of a transnational conservative countermovement. To explain both the success and challenges of the movement, this article extends local/national social movement analysis to the transnational level.<p />",
