- Description
- What effect did the two world wars have on the relations between women and men? Women’s crucial contributions to war efforts challenged assumptions about their social roles. Why did this not produce permanent changes in gender relations? Drawing on comparative material - from government policy to popular media, poetry and fiction, and personal letters - this book examines the reconstitution of gender relations that occurred in many Western countries during both world wars.
