- Description
- During the first days of the Spanish Civil War, women played an integral role in the spontaneous uprising that prevented the immediate success of the Nationalist coup. Around one thousand of these women went on to join the militias who fought at the front. Women’s participation in the anti-fascist resistance constituted one of the greatest mass political mobilizations of women in Spain’s history. By late 1936, attitudes towards women in combat began to change drastically, and by March 1937, the majority of milicianas had been removed from their combat positions. Though there existed a consensus around this issue among the male leadership of both the Republican government and left-wing political groups, female combatants viewed this turn of events differently. The majority of the milicianas saw it as a retreat from the gains women had made during the war and revolution. The political leadership within the Republic presented numerous arguments for why it was necessary to remove women from combat. This book argues that the reason it was considered acceptable for women to fight, and then seen as undesirable eight months later, was connected to the course of the social revolution.

- Description
- Presents the history of female combat soldiers in the Soviet army from the 1930’s to 1945 and makes feminist analysis of it. Argues that women who volunteered for the front in 1941 saw the fighting as an expression of a new Soviet womanhood rather than enactment of male roles. Notes that the figure of the female combatant in a mass army invites scholars to consider combat violence as a meaning-carrying social activity and the role it plays in the construction of modern identity.
