"Women and Gender in Postwar Europe charts the experiences of women across Europe
from 1945 to the present day. Europe at the end of World War II was a sorry testimony
to the human condition; awash in corpses, the infrastructure devastated, food and
fuel in such short supply. From Soviet Union to the United Kingdom and Ireland the
vast majority of citizens on whom survival depended, in the postwar years, were women.
This book charts the involvement of women in postwar reconstruction through the Cold
War and post Cold-War years with chapters on the economic, social, and political dynamism
that characterized Europe from the 1950s onwards, and goes on to look at the woman's
place in a rebuilt Europe that was both more prosperous and as tension-filled as before.
The chapters both look at broad trends across both eastern and western Europe; such
as the horrific aftermath of World War II, but also present individual case studies
that illustrate those broad trends in the historical development of women's lives
and gender roles. The case studies show difference and diversity across Europe whilst
also setting the experience of women in a particular country within the broader historical
issues and trends, in such topics as work, professionalization, sexuality, consumerism,
migration, and activism. The introduction and conclusion provide an overview that
integrates the chapters into the more general history of this important period."--Publisher's
