Women and Gender in Postwar Europe charts the experiences of women
across Europe from 1945 to the present day. Europe at the end of
World War II was a sorry testimony to the human condition; awash in
corpses, the infrastructure devastated, food and fuel in such short
supply. From Soviet Union to the United Kingdom and Ireland the
vast majority of citizens on whom survival depended, in the postwar
years, were women. This book charts the involvement of women in
postwar reconstruction through the Cold War and post Cold-War years
with chapters on the economic, social, and political dynamism that
characterized Europe from the 1950s onwards, and goes on to look at
the woman's place in a rebuilt Europe that was both more prosperous
and as tension-filled as before. The chapters both look at broad
trends across both eastern and western Europe; such as the horrific
aftermath of World War II, but also present individual case studies
that illustrate those broad trends in the historical development of
women's lives and gender roles. The case studies show difference
and diversity across Europe whilst also setting the experience of
women in a particular country within the broader historical issues
and trends, in such topics as work, professionalization, sexuality,
consumerism, migration, and activism. The introduction and
conclusion provide an overview that integrates the chapters into
the more general history of this important period. This will be an
essential resource for students of women and gender studies and for
post 1945 courses.
