Class Description:
What happens to women in times of revolution and war? How is war gendered? This course will seek to answer these questions by examining the involvement and reactions of European women to 20th century wars and revolutions. The conflicts covered will be the two World Wars, the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, the Algerian War of Independence and the wars following the break-up of Yugoslavia. An introductory lecture will precede each week's theme, but the emphasis of the course will be on reading and class interaction. Through primary and secondary source readings, class presentations and, above all, class discussions, we will look at the ways in which women contributed, resisted or merely submitted to twentieth century conflicts and assess the short and long-terms impact of these conflicts on their lives. Gender and gendering in situations of conflict will be constant themes throughout the course. The Assignments will include three 6-8 page papers, one of which will be a re-write, and a class presentation, as part of a group the size of which will depend on class size.
