- 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.

Issues of change, such as the decline of single-sex associational settings, the theological shifts and changing fortunes of sects, the varying visibility of queer and homosexual cultures, and the shifting boundaries and collapsing distinctions between clergy and laypeople are explored in depth.

- Description
- This book explores the experiences of a range of women from the early days of 1914, through the events of the war on the Eastern Front. Their diaries, letters, memoirs and journalism are used to investigate the role played by British women during the fall of Serbia, the Russian Revolution and the final push, and their role in reconstruction following the Armistice. These women, and their writings, are examined through the multiple lenses of gender, nationality, patriotism, imperialism and legacy, but the book also tells the stories of individuals.

- Description
- This volume covers the country from Cork to Belfast, from 1914 up to the early 2000s. Half of the book is devoted to Northern Ireland and to the second part of the twentieth century. The chapters describe the participation of women in war, the portrayal and non-portrayal of women in war, their experiences of war and the consequences they suffered. This book is not only about women fighting, it is also about how war and warlike situations affected women of all types and classes and their children: prostitutes, rural women, urban women, protestant women, Catholic women, writers, dramatists, artists, journalists, women in the peace movement, feminists, free women and imprisoned women. The thirteen chapters include two articles on the First World War, about 'The Women's Legion'- a women's voluntary organization, and one about the poet and writer Winifred Letts and her responses to the war. Two articles on the Irish War of Independence are concerned with representation and portrayals of women involved in the nationalist cause. The Second World War is the subject of three articles, about prostitutes, babies and rural women.

- Description
- Born into Victorian Britain's elite, a brilliant teenager decided to devote her life to the indigent sick by becoming a nurse. Florence's family, especially her mother opposed the decision. Nightingale insisted on the right to fulfill her dream. Catapulted into the Crimean war, she brought order to the chaos of British military hospitals. But she could never forget her patients, that broken army of bloody, lice-infested skeletons. She focused all her faculties on preventing another Crimean calamity. Hygienic army installations, sanitation for India, and creation of modern nursing owe much to Nightingale. To Victorians, she personified their ideal of nurturing female. By creating a career for women that empowered them with economic independence, Florence Nightingale stands among the founders of modern feminism.

- Description
- What happened in women’s history after the vote was won? Was the suffragette spirit quashed by the advent of the First World War, and due to the achievement of women’s partial (1918) and then equal (1928) suffrage thereafter, by having to wait to be reclaimed by the Women’s Liberation Movement only in the late 1960s? This collection explores how individual feminists and the feminist movement as a whole responded to the achievement of the central goal of votes for women.
