Book Synopsis Men, Women and War by : Martin Van Creveld
Download or read book Men, Women and War written by Martin Van Creveld and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2001 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, women have been shielded from the heat of battle, their role limited to supporting the men who do the actual fighting. Now all that has changed, and for the first time females have taken their place on the front lines. But, do they actually belong there? A distinguished military historian answers the question with a vehement no, arguing women are less physically capable, more injury-prone, given more lenient conditions, and disastrous for morale and military preparedness. Groundbreaking and controversial.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woman and the War It is not without serious reflection that I have collected these thoughts in war time to offer in book form to those who may care to read and ponder them. They were written for the most part on the spur of vital moments, when some of the tendencies of the evil times through which we are living seemed to call for immediate protest. I have felt more strongly than ever in the past two years that we are in danger of accepting as something outside the pale of criticism the judgments of those who lead, and sometimes mislead us. The support or hostility of the newspaper press - in some aspects the greatest distorting medium in the world - is still ruled by party considerations. Loyalty or ill-will to the men in office colours all the views of those who praise or blame, and it happens often that a good measure is damned for what is best or lauded for what is worst in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the Women Electricians divide bodies by the resistance they offer to the passage of electric force as calculated in ohms. Humanity may be divided into classes by the resistance they offer to new ideas. The Americans, for example, have a small ohmage, the English a high. Judged by the evolution of their women, old countries like Sweden and Finland are less resistant than even the New World. In Eng land woman has not moved a step in any direction without a hue and cry. Tragical is the story of the first medical pioneers, and equality with the man physician is even yet not won, though every new female doctor is now hailed as a godsend by the male millions engaged night and day in making work for her. The lost volts is the pathetic name for the units of electricity wasted through resistance. What a ghastly waste of human force this British bulldoggedness is answerable for!

Book Synopsis Women and War in Antiquity by : Jacqueline Fabre-Serris
Download or read book Women and War in Antiquity written by Jacqueline Fabre-Serris and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in ancient Greece and Rome played a much more active role in battle than previously assumed. The martial virtues—courage, loyalty, cunning, and strength—were central to male identity in the ancient world, and antique literature is replete with depictions of men cultivating and exercising these virtues on the battlefield. In Women and War in Antiquity, sixteen scholars reexamine classical sources to uncover the complex but hitherto unexplored relationship between women and war in ancient Greece and Rome. They reveal that women played a much more active role in battle than previously assumed, embodying martial virtues in both real and mythological combat. The essays in the collection, taken from the first meeting of the European Research Network on Gender Studies in Antiquity, approach the topic from philological, historical, and material culture perspectives. The contributors examine discussions of women and war in works that span the ancient canon, from Homer’s epics and the major tragedies in Greece to Seneca’s stoic writings in first-century Rome. They consider a vast panorama of scenes in which women are portrayed as spectators, critics, victims, causes, and beneficiaries of war. This deft volume, which ultimately challenges the conventional scholarly opposition of standards of masculinity and femininity, will appeal to scholars and students of the classical world, European warfare, and gender studies.

Book Synopsis The New Soft War on Women by : Caryl Rivers
Download or read book The New Soft War on Women written by Caryl Rivers and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in history, women make up half the educated labor force and are earning the majority of advanced degrees. It should be the best time ever for women, and yet... it’s not. Storm clouds are gathering, and the worst thing is that most women don’t have a clue what could be coming. In large part this is because the message they’re being fed is that they now have it made. But do they? In The New Soft War on Women, respected experts on gender issues and the psychology of women Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barnett argue that an insidious war of subtle biases and barriers is being waged that continues to marginalize women. Although women have made huge strides in recent years, these gains have not translated into money and influence. Consider the following: - Women with MBAs earn, on average, $4,600 less than their male counterparts in their first job out of business school. - Female physicians earn, on average, 39 percent less than male physicians. - Female financial analysts take in 35 percent less, and female chief executives one quarter less than men in similar positions. In this eye-opening book, Rivers and Barnett offer women the real facts as well as tools for combating the “soft war” tactics that prevent them from advancing in their careers. With women now central to the economy, determining to a large degree whether it thrives or stagnates, this is one war no one can afford for them to lose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of War One would have said at the first blush (and the student of history - especially of Continental history - should always have a blush ready) that the artist who sets out to draw scenes from Swiss history is apt to draw blank. That country, so attractive to the eye and uniformly obliging to the casual visitor, is curiously baffling to the historian. Apart from the distinction of contributing Zwingli to the last page of every encyclopaedia, it wears singularly few honours in the European record, and the historical imagination falls back on scenes in which nearly all the most prominent parts were played by foreigners.

Book Synopsis Will War Ever Cease? (Classic Reprint) by : Roger W. Montgomery
Download or read book Will War Ever Cease? (Classic Reprint) written by Roger W. Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Will War Ever Cease? During the past twenty years great interest has been taken in the matter of war and peace, and thousands of good men and women have discussed the question of whether war can be abolished, and a reign of universal peace ushered in within a short time. For generations, yes for centuries, men have dreamed of peace on earth, but wars and rumors of wars have continued, and within the past six years we have witnessed perhaps the greatest and most costly war that the world has ever seen; a war that has involved nearly all the nations of the earth, and has cost the lives of millions of men, and billions of dollars, and has left in its train so much woe and evil that it seems to have cursed the nations of the earth for years, perhaps for generations to come. In the face of all this loss and destruction, certainly no sane man can deny the frightful evils of war, and no sincere well-wisher of the human race can avoid the hope that some way may be found to put an end to a system of settling disputes among nations that causes so much misery and loss to all the parties involved therein.

Book Synopsis Coming Out Under Fire by : Allan Bérubé
Download or read book Coming Out Under Fire written by Allan Bérubé and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, as the United States called on its citizens to serve in unprecedented numbers, the presence of gay Americans in the armed forces increasingly conflicted with the expanding antihomosexual policies and procedures of the military. In Coming Out Under Fire, Allan Berube examines in depth and detail these social and political confrontation--not as a story of how the military victimized homosexuals, but as a story of how a dynamic power relationship developed between gay citizens and their government, transforming them both. Drawing on GIs' wartime letters, extensive interviews with gay veterans, and declassified military documents, Berube thoughtfully constructs a startling history of the two wars gay military men and women fough--one for America and another as homosexuals within the military. Berube's book, the inspiration for the 1995 Peabody Award-winning documentary film of the same name, has become a classic since it was published in 1990, just three years prior to the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which has continued to serve as an uneasy compromise between gays and the military. With a new foreword by historians John D'Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman, this book remains a valuable contribution to the history of World War II, as well as to the ongoing debate regarding the role of gays in the U.S. military.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men in Battle In the parks the children played unmolested with the large russet leaves of the old chestnut trees. Women stood gossiping in front of the shops, and somewhere in every street a girl with a bright kerchief oh her head could be seen washing windows. In spite of the hospital flags waving from almost every house, in spite of innumerable bulletin boards, notices and signposts that the intruder had thrust upon the defenceless town, peace still seemed to prevail here, f scarcely fifty miles away from the butchery, which on clear nights threw its glow on the horizon like an artificial illumin ation. When, for a few moments at a time, there was a lull in the stream of heavy, snort ing automobile trucks and rattling drays, and no train happened to be rumbling over the railway bridge and no signal of trumpet or clanking of sabres sounded the strains of war.
