- Description
- This book examines gender politics during the post-World War II period and the Cold War in the United States and East and West Germany. The authors show how disruptions of older political and social patterns, exposure to new cultures, population shifts, and the rise of consumerism affected gender roles and identities. Comparing all three countries, chapters analyse the ways that gender figured into relations between victor and vanquished and shaped everyday life in both the Western and Soviet blocs. Topics include the gendering of the immediate aftermath of war: the military, politics, and changing masculinities in postwar societies: policies to restore the gender order and foster marriage and family: demobilization and the development of postwar welfare states: and debates over sexuality (gay and straight).

- Description
- Jarvis explores the role of World War II in the shift from the troubled representations of masculinity in America during the Depression to the hyper masculinity during the 1950s. Among the questions she addresses is how such extreme masculine ideals could be maintained in the face of the hundreds of thousands of wounded and damaged bodies.

- Description
- In a reinterpretation of the years between 1620 and 1763, the author argues how ideas about gender and family life were central to the ways people in colonial New England, and their neighbors in New France and Indian Country, described their experiences in cross-cultural warfare. Little argues that English, French, and Indian people had broadly similar ideas about gender and authority. Because they understood both warfare and political power to be intertwined expressions of manhood, colonial warfare may be understood as a contest of different styles of masculinity.

- Description
- This book brings together the histories of the women’s peace movement and the black women’s club and social reform movement in a story of community and consciousness building between the world wars. Believing that achievement of improved race relations was a central step in establishing world peace, African American and white women initiated new political alliances that challenged the practices of segregation and promoted the leadership of women in transnational politics. Under the auspices of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), they united the artistic agenda of the Harlem Renaissance, suffrage-era organizing tactics, and contemporary debates on race in their efforts to expand women’s influence on the politics of war and peace.

- Description
- Analysis of the ways in which America uses gender, race, class, nationalism and imperialism to justify, legitimate and continue war. Included topics are: the implications of an imperial nation/state laying claim to women's liberation: the relation between this claim and resulting American foreign policy and military action: American intervention and invasion and the liberation for women in Afghanistan and Iraq: the multiple concepts that are embedded in the phrase 'women¹s liberation': the ways in which the are connected to religion, culture, history, economics, and nation within current conflicts: the relation between the lives of Afghan and Iraqi women before and after invasion, and that of women living in the US: ways in which women who define themselves as feminists resist or acquiesce to this nation/state claim in current theory and organizing.

- Description
- The experience of women in the nineteenth century has generated a lot of research in recent decades. This book presents recent scholarship available in a concise resource, providing thus an authoritative source of information and interpretation. The authors emphasize areas in which scholars have identified important changes (such as suffrage and reform), topics in which researchers are now making great strides (such as racial, ethnic, religious, and regional diversity), and innovative and relatively recent explorations (for example, work on female sexuality). Accessible overview articles and alphabetical encyclopedia-like entries are combined in a comprehensive volume. .Part 1 contains a historiographical essay followed by a ten-chapter narrative overview. These chapters include discussions of families and households, labor and the workforce, religion and morality, feminism and equal rights, reform and voluntarism, and more. Part 2 is an A-to-Z listing of concise entries on key terms, notable figures, political movements, social and religious organizations, and legislation.

- Description
- The author describes some recent configurations of neoliberal imperial politics through discussions of the Afghan and Iraq wars, violations at Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, the 2004 US Presidential election, and hurricane Katrina. She argues that women’s rights rhetoric is being manipulated as a ploy for global dominance and a misogynistic capture of democratic discourse. She also argues that the plural and diverse lives of women will lay the basis for an assault on these elements.
