Under Fire: Women and World War II

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (27563 ratings)

Description:Since the 1970s, when the dominance of military histories of the World Wars ended, and social historical histories of conflict rose to prominence, women have come to play an increasingly important role in mainstream stories about the WW II. Women have been portrayed as carers, as victims (notably of sexual violence), but rarely as agents of their own fate. This volume focuses on this last group. In spite of the undeniable suffering and victimization that befell so many women during the war, for others the war also opened opportunities and awakened ambitions. The articles bring together some of the women who took initiatives, of which they sometimes suffered the dire consequences, sometimes enjoyed the fruits.Contents: Introduction: BUCHHEIM/FUTSELAAR, Female Agency in Times of War MORANT I ARIŇO, 'Falange's female comrades [and] their German and Italian sisters'.
