‘The changing role of women in warfare, a neglected aspect of military history, is the subject of this collection of perceptive, thought-provoking essays. By looking at the wide range of ways in which women have become involved in all the aspects of war, the authors open up this fascinating topic to wider understanding and debate. They discuss how, particularly in the two world wars, women have been increasingly mobilized in all the armed services, originally as support staff, then in defensive combat roles. They also consider the tragic story of women as victims of male violence, and how women have often put up a heroic resistance, and examine how women have been drawn into direct combat roles on an unprecedented level, a trend that is still controversial in the present day. The collection brings together the work of noted academics and historians with the wartime experiences of women who have remarkable personal stories to tell. The book will be a milestone in the study of the recent history of the parts women have played in the history of warfare.’–Amazon.com. Read more…

«نقش در حال تغییر زنان در جنگ، جنبهای که از تاریخ نظامی نادیده گرفته شده است، موضوع این مجموعه از مقالات ادراکی و تامل برانگیز است. نویسندگان با نگاهی به طیف وسیعی از راههایی که زنان در تمام جنبههای جنگ درگیر شدهاند، این موضوع جذاب را برای درک و بحث گستردهتری باز میکنند. آنها بحث می کنند که چگونه، به ویژه در دو جنگ جهانی، زنان به طور فزاینده ای در تمام خدمات مسلحانه، در ابتدا به عنوان کارکنان پشتیبانی، سپس در نقش های رزمی دفاعی بسیج شده اند. آنها همچنین داستان غم انگیز زنان را به عنوان قربانیان خشونت مردانه، و اینکه چگونه زنان اغلب مقاومت قهرمانانه انجام داده اند، در نظر می گیرند و بررسی می کنند که چگونه زنان در سطح بی سابقه ای به نقش های رزمی مستقیم کشیده شده اند، روندی که در حال حاضر هنوز بحث برانگیز است. روز این مجموعه آثار دانشگاهیان و مورخان برجسته را با تجربیات دوران جنگ زنانی که داستان های شخصی قابل توجهی برای گفتن دارند، گرد هم می آورد. این کتاب نقطه عطفی در مطالعه تاریخ اخیر نقش هایی است که زنان در تاریخ جنگ بازی کرده اند.’–Amazon.com. بیشتر بخوانید. …
