In this ground-breaking study of the complex relationship between
war, gender, and citizenship in Great Britain during World War I,
Nicoletta Gullace shows how the assault on civilian masculinity led
directly to women's suffrage. Through recruiting activities such as
handing out white feathers to reputed 'cowards' and offering
petticoats to unenlisted 'shirkers', female war enthusiasts drew
national attention to the fact that manhood alone was an inadequate
marker of civic responsibility. Proclaiming women's exemplary
service to the nation, feminist organizations tapped into a public
culture that celebrated military service while denigrating those
who opposed the war. Drawing on the vast range of popular and
official sources, Gullace reveals that the war had revolutionary
implications for women who wished to vote and for men who were
expected to fight.
