Product description

Review

"As a woman one would like to hit this macho on the mouth, but nevertheless he is worth listening to… In saying that the roles of the sexes are less flexible than Western society commonly believes, he may be right after all." A. Barth, Der Spiegel

"Martin van Creveld has written a work that is rich in facts, provocative, and easy to read. It reviews the relationship between women and war in both myth and history. It offers plenty of material for discussion, and not by feminists alone." M. Mantzke, Das Parlement

"Van Creveld has unhesitatingly put his finger on many sore points—he can be sure many will be screaming at him in anger. As they say, though, "many enemies, much honor." Ruf, Dresdner Neueste nachrichten.

“[Van] Creveld presents lots of material to base his thesis on. And look, history suddenly assumes a completely different face from the one (radical) feminists have tried to make us believe in. Many well-liked clichés concerning the exploitation and oppression of women turn out to have no foundation, whereas others were invented for political-ideological reasons.” InkulturA-online.

About the Author

Prof. Emeritus Martin van Creveld of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is one of the world's best- known experts on military history and strategy. His interest in women's history and feminism dates back to the early 1990s when he testified in front of the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces. One of the outcomes of his research in the field is the present volume. Previously published in Germany and in Brazil, in both countries it made the cover of leading news magazines. Currently it is being translated into Dutch as well.
