Introductory Readings

 

For a general introduction into the research of gender and war, see the Oxford Handbook of Gender, War and the Western World since 1600, edited by Karen Hagemann, Stefan Dudink and Sonya O. Rose (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2020). A general overview of the development of the research on gender and war can be found in its “Introduction: Gender and the History of War” by Karen Hagemann.

Part IV of the Handbook entitled “From the Global Cold War to the Conflicts of the Post–Cold War Era” includes several chapters dealing with gender and the Global Cold War. Chapter 26, “War and Gender: From the Global Cold War to the Conflicts of the Post–Cold War Era—an Overview” by Karen Hagemann and Sonya O. Rose offers a good introduction.
