This book is the outcome of a successful workshop held in Leeds in
September 2003 and explores the effects of World War II on the
representation of gender in post-war literature, film and popular
culture, juxtaposing Western European experience with US, Soviet
and Japanese. It aims to outline the different ways in which these
representations evolved in post-war attempts both to re-establish
social order and reconstruct national identity. It gives the reader
an overview of the similarities and differences that have emerged
in the representation of war and gender in different cultures and
media, as a result of social expectations, political change and
individual artistic innovation. The essays are linked by their
concern with three key questions: how are emotion and gender
represented in relation to the experience of war; what is the
impact of war on the dynamic between the genders; and, as the
memory of war recedes, is it possible to identify chronological
shifts in the artistic response to the conflict?
