- 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.

- This volume contains historical narratives about the contributions of women in the American military, from the American Revolution to the present wars in the Middle East. Based on diaries, letters, oral histories and memoirs, these women reveal why and how they chose to serve their country. For example, Harriet Tubman (1820-1913) tells her experiences as the first American woman to lead an invasion, freeing some 750 slaves. Linda Bray (1960-) tells about her leading of troops into combat during the war in Panama in the 1980s.

- 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
- Drawing on a wealth of regimental histories, newspaper archives, and a host of previously unreported accounts, Hall shows that women served in more capacities and in greater number-perhaps several thousand-than has previously been known. They served in the infantry, cavalry, and artillery and as spies, scouts, saboteurs, smugglers, and frontline nurses. From all walks of life, they followed husbands and lovers into battle, often in male disguise that remained undiscovered until they were wounded (or gave birth), and endured the same hardships and dangers as did their male counterparts.
