Gender and warfare in the twentieth century is a collection of
exciting, accessible and very readable essays that span the
twentieth century, exploring the ways in which men and women have
both represented warfare, and represented themselves as
participants in warfare. A range of contributors from different
disciplines explore these representations by examining a wide
variety of sources: fiction, film, personal diaries, memoirs,
non-fiction, letters, oral testimonies and more. The collection
ranges from the trenches of the Western Front, through the
shell-shocked inter-war years, the civil war in Spain and the
disparate battle fronts of World War Two, to the complexities of
Vietnam and the late century Hollywood workings and re-workings of
these conflicts. The focus on gendered readings provides a thread
that binds these essays together to create a comprehensive and
interesting picture of the legacy of twentieth-century warfare at
the beginning of the new millennium. -- .
