- Description
- Overzicht van de geschiedenis van vrouwen in het Australische leger, met name het Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC) gedurende de laatste vijftig jaar. Hierin wordt een beeld gegeven van de strijd door vrouwen geleverd om volwaardig geaccepteerd te worden in een mannenbolwerk zoals het leger. Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan de discussie of vrouwen in het leger echt gelijkwaardig kunnen zijn aan mannen in hun beroepsuitoefening gezien hun fysieke gesteldheid.

- 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.

- Description
- This book tells the story of eight women who helped found and form the country that is America today, women as important in their own way as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, but completely overlooked in the annals of history. Among these women are Abigail Adams, wife to one president and mother to another, a great intellect in her own right: Sybil Ludington, the female Paul Revere, who took a daring ride twice as long—and dangerous—to warn the Patriots the British were coming: Deborah Samson, the first female Sergeant, who disguised herself as a man to fight in the Continental Army.

- Description
- At least 250 women served-disguised as men-in the ranks of both North and South during the Civil War. After covering the major combat actions in which women served the authors reconstruct the reasons why women entered the armed forces: many were simply patriotic, while others followed their husbands or lovers and yet others yearned to break free from the constraints that Victorian society had laid on them as women.

- 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.

- Description
- This history follows the revolution in women's lives and aspirations during the second decade of the 20th century, as reflected in costume and appearance. The book opens the wardrobe in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the contrast between the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of Edwardian womanhood and the gossamer gowns draped round her. It examines such contradictions as suffragettes battling social and legal restrictions while fashion literally hobbles women with narrow skirts and thigh-length corsets.

- Description
- Servadio dates the birth of the Renaissance not to the traditionally quoted year of 1492 but to the invention of the printing press in 1456, which made books--and hence education--available to women. Central to her story are the lives of women such as Vittoria Colonna, whose extraordinary mutual love with Michelangelo is told here: Tullia d'Aragona, poet and the best known courtesan of her age, and French poet Louise Labé, who fought battles in male clothes. She follows these new women through the rise--and fall--of the Renaissance in Italy and France, moving northwards to the Low Countries and, in the person of Elizabeth I, to England. They are placed center stage to the Renaissance's power plays, paintings and architecture, courtesans and popes, music and manners, fashion, food, cosmetics, changing societies and the language of poetry and symbols.
