- Description
- The achievement of the vote in 1918 is often celebrated as a triumphant moment in the onward, upward advancement of Canadian women. In this book the author shows that the struggle for equality included gains and losses, inclusions and exclusions, depending on a woman’s race, class, and location within the nation. It tells a more inclusive story and exposes fissures of inequality as well as their weaknesses in the face of resistance, optimism and protest.

- Description
- 1919 dürfen Frauen in Deutschland erstmals wählen und machen sich auf allen Gebieten daran, ihr Leben selbst zu gestalten: Käthe Kollwitz wird als erste Frau in die Akademie der Künste berufen, Maria Juchacz hält als erste eine Rede im Parlament und Gunta Stölzl studiert am neu eröffneten Bauhaus. Während Rosa Luxemburg in Berin ihren Einsatz für die politische Neuordnung mit dem Leben bezahlt, widmet man sich in Paris der Wissenschaft und Kultur: Marie Curies Radiuminstitut öffnet seine Pforten, Sylvia Beach gründet Shakespeare & Company und Coco Chanel meldet ihr unsterbliches Chanel No. 5 zum Patent an.

- Description
- This volume is a collection of contributions centered around three main themes. The first part, brings together first-hand accounts from women’s lives as they face the horrors of war, drawn mainly from original sources such as diaries, letters, memoirs and writings. The second explores the lives and thought of several women activists who challenged inequalities and sought to create new opportunities for women, contributing to the definition of a transnational culture of peace. The final section examines the work of a group of women who saw the outbreak of the First World War and the emergence of an international women’s movement for peace as an opportunity to act for their personal emancipation, and, in some cases, for a different idea of politics. The volume provides a selection of contributions from little-known European contexts such as Italy, Poland, and Austria. The presence and contribution of African-American women, which has been neglected in the history of women’s pacifism, is also explored. Particular attention is given to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and to the International Congress of Women, held in The Hague in 1915.
