War has been a key part of the Australian experience and central to
many national mythologies. Yet more than most activities, war
polarises femininity and masculinity. This exciting collection of
essays explores the inter-relationship of gender and war in
Australia for the first time. Traditional images of Australians
during wartime show the 'digger' making history in battle, while
women play a supportive role as nurses, or wives and mothers on the
home front. Yet as this book shows, war offers opportunities that
erode gender boundaries. Women may be empowered economically,
politically and sexually, while the trauma of war can leave men
emasculated. First published in 1995, Gender and War focuses on
women's and men's experiences in WWI, WWII and the Vietnam War.
This interdisciplinary collection addresses a wide range of
subjects, and promises to change the way we think about women, men
and war in the twentieth century.
