White women cut an ambivalent figure in the transnational history
of the British Empire. They tend to be remembered as malicious
harridans personifying the worst excesses of colonialism, as
vacuous fusspots, whose lives were punctuated by a series of
frivolous pastimes, or as casualties of patriarchy, constrained by
male actions and gendered ideologies. This book, which places
itself amongst other "new imperial histories", argues that the
reality of the situation, is of course, much more intricate and
complex. Focusing on post-war colonial Rhodesia, Gendering the
Settler State provides a fine-grained analysis of the role(s) of
white women in the colonial enterprise, arguing that they held
ambiguous and inconsistent views on a variety of issues including
liberalism, gender, race and colonialism.
