Margaret H. McFadden. Golden Cables of Sympathy: The Transatlantic Sources of Nineteenth-Century Feminism. Lexington: University Press of Kentucky. 1999. Pp. xiv, 270. $29.95.

Alli Trigg-Helenius of Finland spoke in 1888 at the first meeting of the International Council of Women in Washington of the "golden cable of sympathy" that bound together North American and European feminists. In this study, Margaret H. McFadden traces a history of international connections that constituted a "pre-organizational matrix," a basis on which an international and autonomous feminist movement was to be constructed. Such "cables" and "matrices" are to be understood through the analysis of transatlantic networks and webs of friendship developing from the 1820s to the 1880s, primarily between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia, although a range of connections with other European countries is also described here. McFadden draws on the sociological approach of network analysis, which provides a conceptual framework and vocabulary with which to map the growth of transatlantic communications between women. . . .
