Producing war, producing gender. French women at work in National Socialist Germany (1940-1945)
by Camille Fauroux
Description
This book deals with the way in which the massive production of weapons, characteristic of the "total wars" of the twentieth century, disrupts gender relations in conflict-ridden societies. Camille Fauroux looks at the history of the 80,000 or so women who left France to work in the arms factories of National Socialist Germany. The book sheds light on the transnational dynamics of gender production, allowing us to think of women's stories in World War II Europe as linked, interdependent realities, rather than as parallel experiences.
