- Description
- The aim of this book is to make visible the intentionality behind the 'forgetting' of European women's contributions during the period between the two world wars in the context of politics, culture and society. It also seeks to analyse women's agency in the construction and reconstruction of Europe and its nation states after the First World War, and thus to articulate ways in which the writing of women's history necessarily entails the rewriting of everyone's history. .By showing that the erasure of women's texts from literary and cultural history was not accidental but was ideologically motivated, the essays explicitly and implicitly contribute to debates surrounding canon formation. Other important topics are women's political activism during the period, antifascism, the contributions made by female journalists, the politics of literary production, genre, women's relationship with and contributions to the avant-garde, women's professional lives, and women's involvement in voluntary associations. The chapter about the Netherlands is about Dutch women writers between the wars.

- Description
- This book looks at the impact of war on women in Britain. It shows how conflict has changed women’s lives and how those changes have put women at the centre of peace campaigning. Lindsey German shows how women have played a central role in anti-war and peace movements, including the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The women themselves talk about how they overcame prejudice and difficulty to become active. The book looks at how the changing nature of war, especially the involvement of civilians, increasingly involves significant numbers of women. As well as providing an inspiring account of women's opposition to war, the book also tackles key contemporary developments, challenging negative assumptions about Muslim women and showing how anti-war movements are feeding into a broader desire to change society.

- Vanuit verschillende perspectieven worden steeds wisselende facetten van gender relaties op het gebied van vrijetijd en vermaak belicht: Karsten traceert vanuit historisch perspectief de ontwikkeling van vrijetijd als een aandachtsgebied zowel binnen de vrouwenbeweging als binnen vrouwenstudies: Beckers kijkt vanuit politiek perspectief terug op de laatste 25 jaar vrijetijdsonderzoek terug en constateert dat het vrijetijdsbegrip en -gedrag van vrouwen sterk afgeleid is van en tevens functioneel is voor een door mannen gedomineerd arbeidsbestel en beroepsleven: Derks beschrijft de danscultuur van Brabantse fabrieksmeisjes in het interbellum en de morele paniek die dat vermaak bij katholieke opvoeders genereerde: Burke gaat in op de tegenstrijdige beeldvorming van vrouwelijke atleten in de media: Van Nieuwkerk behandelt het vrouwelijke entertainment in Egypte: afgesloten wordt met een overzicht van feministisch georiënteerd onderzoek in vrijetijdwetenschappen.

- Description
- Defining the kitchen as a complex technological artifact as important as computers, cars, and nuclear missiles, the book examines the ways in which a range of social actors in Europe shaped the kitchen as both ideological construct and material practice. These actors—from manufacturers and modernist architects to housing reformers and feminists—constructed and domesticated the technological innovations of the postwar kitchen. The home became a 'mediation junction' in which women users and others felt free to advise producers from the consumer's point of view. In essays illustrated by striking period photographs, the contributors to Cold War Kitchen consider such topics as Soviet consumers' ambivalent responses to the American dream kitchen argued over by Nixon and Khrushchev: the Frankfurter Küche, a European modernist kitchen of the interwar period (and its export to Turkey when its designer fled the Nazis): and the British state-subsidized kitchen design so innovative that it was mistaken for a luxury American product. The concluding essays challenge the received wisdom of past interpretations of the kitchen debate.

- Description
- By the 1920s, women were on the verge of something huge. Jazz, racy fashions, new attitudes about art and sex—all of this pointed to a modern world, one that could shake off the grimness of the Great War and stride into the future. The women who defined this the Jazz Age—Josephine Baker, Tallulah Bankhead, Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Tamara de Lempicka—would presage the sexual revolution by nearly half a century and would shape the role of women for generations to come. The women came from vastly different backgrounds, but all ended up passing through Paris, the mecca of the avant-garde. But beneath the flamboyance and excess of the Roaring Twenties lay age-old prejudices about gender, race, and sexuality.
