On Her Their Lives Depend: Munitions Workers in the Great War
ISBN: 9780520085022 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this evocative book, Angela Woollacott analyzes oral histories, workers' writings, newspapers, official reports, and factory song lyrics to present an intimate view of women munitions workers in Britain during World War I. Munitions work offered working-class women--for the first time--independence, a reliable income, even an improved standard of living. But male employers and trade unionists brought them face-to-face with their subordination as women within their own class, while experiences with middle-class women co-workers and police reminded them of their status as working class....

Settler Society in the Australian Colonies: Self-Government and Imperial Culture
ISBN: 9780199641802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 1820s to the 1860s were a foundational period in Australian history, arguably at least as important as Federation. Industrialization was transforming Britain, but the southern colonies were pre-industrial, with economies driven by pastoralism, agriculture, mining, whaling and sealing, commerce, and the construction trades. Convict transportation provided the labour on which the first settlements depended before it was brought to a staggered end, first in New South Wales in 1840 and last in Western Australia in 1868.

To Try Her Fortune in London: Australian Women, Colonialism, and Modernity
ISBN: 9780195147193 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between 1870 and 1940, tens of thousands of Australian women were drawn to London, their imperial metropolis and the center of the publishing, art, musical, theatrical, and educational worlds. Even more Australian women than men made the pilgrimage "home," seeking opportunities beyond those available to them in the Australian colonies or dominion. In tracing the experiences of these women, this volume reveals hitherto unexamined connections between whiteness, colonial status, gender, and modernity.

Gendering War Talk
ISBN: 9780691633374 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a century torn by violent civil uprisings, civilian bombings, and genocides, war has been an immediate experience for both soldiers and civilians, for both women and men. But has this reality changed our long-held images of the roles women and men play in war, or the emotions we attach to violence, or what we think war can accomplish? This provocative collection addresses such questions in exploring male and female experiences of war--from World War I, to Vietnam, to wars in Latin America and the Middle East--and how this experience has been articulated in literature, film and drama,...
