- Description
- This book is an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts - martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. It examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, the book engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike.

- Description
- This book explores the cultural understanding of actors, agents and structures of war and how can we make sense of attitudes towards women, agency and war today. Ahall argues that all types of stories are informed by ideas about motherhood and maternal reproduction as the foundation of sexual difference. This does not only mean that women are judged based on the shape of their, maternalised, bodies, rather than what they actually do, but, it means that ideas about motherhood function to police contemporary gender norms and contemporary understandings of agency in war.This book argues that maternalist war stories function to reiterate traditional heteronormative gender roles.The body politics of war told through maternalist war stories is a process in which the sexing of war means the policing of gender borders, with motherhood acting as the border agent.

- Description
- Colonial officer from 1813 to 1859, Inspector General James Barry was a pioneering medical reformer who after his death in 1865 became the object of intense speculation when rumours arose about his sex. This cultural history of Barry’s afterlives in Victorian to contemporary life-writing (‘biographilia’) examines strategies of biography, biofiction and biodrama of the last one and a half centuries. In exploring the reconstructions and re-imaginations of the historical personality across time, the book illustrates that the ‘real’ James Barry does not exist, any more than does the ‘faithful’ biographical, biofictional or biodramatic rendering of a life in a generically ‘stable’ and discrete form.

- Description
- As this collection demonstrates, feminist scholars are producing a rich and diverse body of knowledge within their universities today. Often they work in isolation from one another and often their knowledge is not disseminated to the broader community. From its inception, the goal of this collection has been to publicize the work of feminist research across the disciplines and to foster an open and inclusive communication between academic and community feminists. These essays bring to the fore a constellation of concerns that are linked to the broader women's movement and to global feminism, ranging from recovering histories to the rise of global connectivity. The essays together create a complex and dynamic interconnection of voices that speak to feminists both in academia and in the wider world.

- Description
- More than 800,000 Soviet women fought against Hitler's onslaught during the 'Great Patriotic War,' 1941-45. Female participation in military conflict on such a scale is historically unique. This is the first comprehensive study of the hitherto largely hidden history of the crucial role women played in the defeat of fascism on the Eastern Front.

- Description
- This reader is about gender and the developing world. In recent years there has arisen a sophisticated feminist literature on the lives of Third World women, their roles in development and their experiences of conflict. However the lives of Third World men have been ignored or consigned negative and stereotypical gender roles. While it is vital not to overlook men's roles in crime, exploitation, and violence, it is obvious that a more nuanced and empathetic portrait of Third World men remains to be painted. In this anthology are parts about family and sexuality, religion, work, migration and masculinities.

- Description
- Overview of women’s role and place in western Europe, from the beginning of the eighteenth century until the twentieth century. Chapters focus on women's work, sexuality, the family, education and training, religion, political participation, war and peace, popular culture and leisure, and women as producers and consumers of art. The interaction between women, ideology and female agency, the way women engaged with patriarchal and gendered structures and systems, and the way women carved out their identities and spaces within these informs each of the studies.

- Description
- Using new evidence from the National Archives, Canaday shows how the state came to penalize homosexuality, giving rise to a regime of second-class citizenship that sexual minorities still live under today. She looks at three key arenas of government control: immigration, the military, and welfare and demonstrates how federal enforcement of sexual norms emerged with the rise of the modern bureaucratic state. She begins at the turn of the twentieth century when the state first stumbled upon evidence of sex and gender nonconformity, revealing how homosexuality was policed indirectly through the exclusion of sexually 'degenerate' immigrants. She argues that the state's gradual awareness of homosexuality intensified during the later New Deal and through the postwar period as policies were enacted that explicitly used homosexuality to define who could enter the country, serve in the military, and collect state benefits. Midcentury repression was not a sudden response to newly visible gay subcultures but the culmination of longer process of state-building during which the state came to know and to care about homosexuality across many decades

- Description
- Roberts tells the story of how the US military command systematically spread—and then exploited—the myth of French women as sexually experienced and available. The resulting chaos—ranging from flagrant public sex with prostitutes to outright rape and rampant venereal disease—horrified the war-weary and demoralized French population. The sexual predation, and the blithe response of the American military leadership, also caused serious friction between the two nations just as they were attempting to settle questions of long-term control over the liberated territories and the restoration of French sovereignty.
