Reviews
[E]xcellent volume...Gender and the Great Warprovides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the transnational scholarship on the gender dynamics of World War I. * Virginia R. Boynton, The History Teacher *
Gender & the Great Waris a well-integrated anthology which draws together recent scholarship on gender and the First World War, the impact of gender on the war, and the impact of the war on gender.The book's range is indeed impressive and each chapter is so well written that it is a pleasure to read. This is both a useful book, bringing us up to date on the state of this field, and a provocative one. Each chapter concludes with a series of questions and topics for further research to entice more scholars to join the investigation. The authors collectively show us how far our understanding of gender and war have come in recent decades * Margaret Darrow, H-Diplo *
Gender and the Great War provides a valuable overview and summary of scholarship published in the last decade. The breadth of its contributions, reinforced by the exceptional bibliography, should be especially useful to graduate students interested in understanding how gender analysis enriches our understanding of the cataclysmic effects of the Great War. * Martha Hanna, Journal of Modern History *
