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
