- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.

- Description
- The second world war was a period which witnessed struggles for the appropriate definition of feminine identities and behaviour. Sexuality was becoming a contentious issue. Gender relations and the discourses constructing sexuality could have been treated as the gendered nature of the public and private spheres. In this book the author looks at women working in factories before and during the war, the beauty myth and pin-up girls and the sexual double standard.
