What effect did the two world wars have on the relations between women and men? Drawing on broad comparative material&;from government policy to popular media, poetry and fiction, and personal letters&;this book examines the redefinition of gender that occurred in many Western countries during both world wars.
&;A major addition to the literature on gender relations and war.&;&;Helena Lewis, Women&;s Review of Books
&;One of the first, and certainly the most exciting, treatments of war as an event of gender politics.&;&;Choice
&;A substantial contribution to the social history of this century.&;&;Anne Summers, Times Literary Supplement
&;These essays powerfully demonstrate how much the world wars provided battlegrounds not only for nations but for the sexes.&;&;Michael S. Sherry, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
&;A work of lively, engaged scholarship&;. This is an important contribution to current debates about war and human identity, war and political reality, war and transformative possibility.&;&;Jean Bethke Elshtain
