Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Nov 2004 | ISBN-10: 1403967105 | ISBN-13: 978-1403967107 | Edition: New edition
In this ground-breaking study of the complex relationship between war, gender, and citizenship in Great Britain during World War I, Nicoletta Gullace shows how the assault on civilian masculinity led directly to women's suffrage. Through recruiting activities such as handing out white feathers to reputed 'cowards' and offering petticoats to unenlisted 'shirkers', female war enthusiasts drew national attention to the fact that manhood alone was an inadequate marker of civic responsibility. Proclaiming women's exemplary service to the nation, feminist organizations tapped into a public culture that celebrated military service while denigrating those who opposed the war. Drawing on the vast range of popular and official sources, Gullace reveals that the war had revolutionary implications for women who wished to vote and for men who were expected to fight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tough read, but good book 26 Feb 2013
By Suzanne Burt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was assigned this book for a class and although it is a difficult read, someone's doctoral dissertation, it's a unique look on gender roles in WWI Great Britain. If this is a subject that interests you, absolutely read this book. If you are looking for a fun read, you may want to skip it!
