Making Peace

Viac o knihe

The emergence of a powerful ideology of motherhood and the reinforcement of separate gender spheres in interwar Britain are explored as responses to the political and economic changes following World War I. The book examines how wartime portrayals of women influenced postwar gender relations, with professionals using war metaphors to describe conflicts between men and women. This context reveals the complexities of gender dynamics shaped by societal restructuring and the lingering impacts of the war on perceptions of femininity and masculinity.
