FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Women in Europe Between the Wars
Papers are invited for a conference to be held at
Aston University, 9-10 September 2002
The role played by women in this key period of European political
and cultural upheaval is often obscured or neglected. This
conference will provide a forum for a productive exchange between
scholars working in various fields and disciplines around the theme
of women in inter-war Europe. The conference aims to investigate
women's relationship to national and international politics, to ask
whether there is a distinguishable female voice in inter-war
European culture, and to consider attitudes towards women's
changing role in society. Papers focusing on a single nation or
offering a comparative or pan-European perspective are equally
welcome.
Possible topics for contributions might include:
<-- political activists on the left and right
<-- feminism
<-- citizenship
<-- international peace movements
<-- the Spanish Civil War
<-- philosophers and thinkers
<-- literature and war
<-- inter-war cinema
<-- socialist realism and proletarian literature
<-- the visual arts, music, popular entertainment
<-- critical responses to women's cultural expression
<-- the Paris Exposition Universelle
<-- women and the professions
Brief proposals for papers should be sent to the conference organisers,
Angela Kershaw, School of Languages and European Studies, University of
Aston, Aston Triangle, Birmingham B4 7ET, [log in to unmask] or
Angela Kimyongür, Department of European Languages and Cultures
(French), University of Hull, Cottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX,
