Beyond the Cultural Turn
The Oxford Handbook of Gender, War, and the Western World since 1600
The handbook is a reference work of thirty-two essays jointly written by specialists in the history of military and war and experts in gender and women’s history. The collection, covering four centuries from the Thirty Years’ War to the present Wars of Globalization, investigates how gender contributed to the shaping of warfare and the military and was at the same time transformed by them. The essays explore this question by focusing on themes su…

The Culture of History
At Home with the Empire
This pioneering 2006 volume addresses the question of how Britain's empire was lived through everyday practices - in church and chapel, by readers at home, as embodied in sexualities or forms of citizenship, as narrated in histories - from the eighteenth century to the present. Leading historians explore the imperial experience and legacy for those located, physically or imaginatively, 'at home,' from the impact of empire on constructions of woma…
‘With Axe Large And Gory’
The war years were indelibly etched by the interplay of two seemingly opposite tendencies. There was, on the one hand, the dynamic unleashed by a powerful fantasy of national cross-class unity, coupled with the belief that the war was or would be a levelling influence. And, on the other hand, there were persistent expressions of class antagonism. This combination of desire for singularity and incessant conflict contributed to an unprecedented foc…

Conclusions and Afterthoughts
I began to think about patriotism and national identity when the United States went to war with Iraq in 1990. Almost overnight, or so it seemed, yellow ribbons were everywhere. Initially, when the bombing of Baghdad first started, there were protests in college and university towns--I distinctly remember the sounds of ‘Give Peace a Chance’, that wonderful Beatles song from another age booming over loudspeakers. But in a matter of days, the yellow…
‘Be Truly Feminine’
As the previous chapter suggested commentary about citizenship focused primarily on obligations. It restated ideas associated with the much older republican or civic humanist tradition-one stressing sacrifice and civic virtue in contrast to liberal citizenship’s emphasis on individual rights. But as I will explain in the first part of this chapter, when women fulfilled their wartime duties of citizenship, conflict was generated over both traditio…
Introduction
The British home front in World War II continues to be a source of both fascination and nostalgia even for those who were born long after the war had ended. It was a time when the British pulled together to defeat the Nazi enemy in a war that until the middle of 1944 had produced more deaths among civilians in Britain than among those who were in the fighting services. After the fall of the European allies in the spring of 1940, when Great Britai…
Good-Time’ Girls
The nation was depicted as one in which ‘ the people’ were sacrificing their private pleasures and individual interests and concerns and devoting themselves to the war effort. It is not surprising, then, that self-interestedness or selfishness came to be portrayed as antithetical to the wartime spirit. For some selfishness during the war became the epitome of sin. Canon A. Linwood Wright, Vicar of St Mark’s, Leicester, wrote for example, ‘We must…
Geographies Of The Nation
In popular imagination nations are presumed to be ‘ natural’ groupings that incline people to experience a sense of belonging, identity, and commonality of sentiment. The metaphoric relationship between the family and the nation links what is supposed to be ‘ natural’, the family, constituted with both gender difference and a hierarchy of age and generation as central components, with the nation, containing at its centre power differentials such …
‘The End Is Bound To Come’
As we have seen in the last chapter, urban-rural contestation and the straining against singularity of Britain’s constituent national cultures troubled the idea that the British were one people. As a nation state Great Britain, geographically and politically speaking, was as much an empire as it was a nation for it had been formed by England’s incorporation of Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Moreover, Britain was, of course, an imperial nation, bot…

Temperate Heroes
In contrast to the persistent public expressions of anxiety about femininity and how women might change as a result of their wartime experiences, only rarely was ‘ manliness’ or ‘manhood’-masculinity, as such-the focus of debate and scrutiny. Public attention was directed to the cultural meanings of manhood only when something happened that challenged deeply held and taken-for-granted ideas about male-female differences.1
Limited Livelihoods
Integrating analytical tools from feminist theory, cultural studies and sociology to illuminate detailed historical evidence, Sonya Rose argues that gender was a central organizing principle of the nineteenth-century industrial transformation in England. She elaborates a cultural theory of gender that suggests why it is an inherent aspect of all social and economic relations. Analysing employer strategies and state policies and the role of work i…
Which People’s War
Which People’s War? examines how national belonging, or British national identity, was envisaged in the public culture of the World War II home front. Using materials from newspapers, magazines, films, novels, diaries, letters, and all sorts of public documents, it explores such questions as: who was included as ‘British’ and what did it mean to be British? How did the British describe themselves as a singular people, and what were the consequenc…

Gender, Citizenship and Subjectivity
Because the French Revolution failed to produce a widely acceptable definition of citizenship, the limits of manhood suffrage in the early nineteenth century were uncertain. Social practices, in particular scientific activity, served as claims to the status of citizen. By engaging in scientific pastimes, bourgeois Frenchmen asserted that they possessed the rationality and autonomy that liberal theorists associated both with manliness and with civ…
Race, empire and British wartime national identity, 1939-45
Britain's self-portrait as a democratic and paternalistic imperial nation was persistently undermined by the contradictory repercussions of racial divisiveness. The consequences of racism in both the metropole and in the colonies threatened the metropole-colonial relations so fundamental to British imperial sensibilities. Thus, government officials were involved throughout the war in repairing Britain's reputation with its imperial subjects. Usin…

From Behind the Women's Petticoats
In 1874 Parliament passed a law entitled 'The Factories (Health of Women. etc) Act' which limited the hours that women and children could work in textile factories to a 56 1/2 hour work week. In this paper I interpret the debates over hours legislation and the resulting Act as cultural productions. These cultural productions contributed to the formulation of a new social problem,'the working mother' promulgated an interpretation of who caused the…
Gender Segregation in the Transition to the Factory
Industrialization in England was a drawn-out and uneven process. The putting-out system was resilient, and in some industries manufacturing continued on a domestic basis even while factory production was developing. Such industries are particularly fertile ones in which to examine the specific actions of workers and capitalists that transformed the division of labor and to probe what it was in the changing structure of capitalist production that …

Resuscitating Class
A sense of crisis and uncertainty seems pervasive among many social historians and historical sociologists who have studied the relationship between economic disadvantage and protest politics. Within the last five or so years, edited volumes and special issues of journals have encouraged scholars to “bring class back in,” to explore what some worry is the “end of labor history,” or to “rethink working-class history” in the wake of postmodernism, …

Proto-Industry, Women's Work and the Household Economy in the Transition To Industrial Capitalism
Using samples of households from the 1851 and 1881 censuses of Arnold, Nottinghamshire, a proto-industrial village specializing in framework knitting, the research reported in this article examines the changes in the economic activities of household members as the domestic industry was being superseded by the factory system. The data show the continuing importance of the family economy to the economic viability of households and the increasing si…

Seventh Berkshire Conference on the History of Women
The Berkshire Conference is unusual among academic meetings because it represents not only scholarship on women's history but also goals central to various aspects of the feminist movement. It is held every third year in June at a women's college in the Northeast. The 1987 conference, held at Wellesley College on June 19-21, was attended by more than two thousand scholars and provided an opportunity to consider not only the significance of recent…

Gender and Class in Modern Europe
Gender figured significantly in the industrial, social, and political transformations of the United Kingdom and Ireland, France, Germany, and Russia. This book explores its importance during a period of radical change for the working classes, from 1800 through the 1930s. Collectively, the authors demonstrate how the study of gender can lead to a new understanding of working class history. The authors-leading historians, sociologists, and feminist…
