“We Decided the Museum Would Be the Best Place for Them”
Although it is generally considered that there was relatively little interest in the First World War throughout the 1970s and 1980s in Britain, these decades constitute a key moment in time when the embodied memories of the war transitioned into the cultural memory we are familiar with today.

Drawing upon science studies and feminist theory, this article develops critical cu…
