Between 1954 and 1962, Algerian women played a major role in the
struggle to end French rule in one of the twentieth century's most
violent wars of decolonisation. This is the first in-depth
exploration of what happened to these women after independence in
1962. Based on new oral history interviews with women who
participated in the war in a wide range of roles, from urban
bombers to members of the rural guerrilla support network, it
explores how female veterans viewed the post-independence state and
its multiple discourses on 'the Algerian woman' in the fifty years
following 1962. It also examines how these former combatants'
memories of the anti-colonial conflict intertwine with, contradict
or coexist alongside the state-sponsored narrative of the war
constructed after independence. Making an original contribution to
debates about gender, nationalism and memory, this book will appeal
to students and scholars of history and politics. -- .
