Opis

To date, war history has focused predominantly on the efforts of and impact of war on male participants. However, this limited focus disregards the complexity of gendered experiences with war and the military. The Oxford Handbook of Gender, War, and the Western World since 1600 investigates how conceptions of gender have contributed to the shaping of military culture, examining the varied ideals and practices that have socially differentiated men and women'swartime experiences. Covering the major periods in warfare since the seventeenth century, The Handbook explores cultural representations of war and the interconnectedness of the military with civil society and its transformations.

Recenzje

As noted in the introductory essay, the goal of this handbook is to make available the extensive research on war and gender and to challenge conventional military historiography, which has long omitted the study of women and gender...This handbook is an impressive work of scholarship.
