War, Gender and Memory: Victors and Vanquished in World War II
| This paper considers how experiences and memories of defeat and victory in war are negotiated through gender. How far does defeat produce anxieties about an emasculated nation? Is femininity used to displace such anxieties? How are masculinity and femininity used to dramatise ideas of national differences associated with defeat and victory? The paper addresses these questions through a focus on experiences and memories in Britain, France, Germany and the US in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. It looks particularly at post-war filmic representations of the rubble woman, the shorn woman, the resistance fighter and the soldier, sailor or airman hero.
