Email: kouki@uoc.gr Abstract This article explores the role of gender in the social movements of the Greek crisis. Building on extensive fieldwork, we observe a gradual shift from claim‐based, street mobilizations to locally embedded solidarity initia- tives that addressed social reproduction needs in relation to food, health, education, and housing. We illustrate how this foregrounded social reproductive practices; challenged traditional divisions of labor and the temporalities and spatialities of movement organizing; and brought forward the value of building intersectional coalitions and of embracing affect and radical care. Despite the lack of explicitly articulated feminist values and principles, we argue that many social movements of the crisis therefore have cultivated situated and implicit modes of feminist solidarity that warrant further attention. Accordingly, we discuss the implications for feminist organizing and radical social movements more broadly.

In both theory and praxis, feminist solidarities often draw on explicit notions of “sisterhood” and broader radical politics (e.g., Dean, 1996; Hooks, 1986; Mohanty, 2003). They can range from more to less coalitional (Lyshaug, 2006; Gender Work Organ. 2020;1–20. wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/gwao © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. - 1
