This course will bring to light the lesser known and diverse story of women in war as active participants in combat, as ambulance drivers at the front, as members of resistance groups, in espionage for or against their own country, as munition workers, and in laboring positions previously denied them because of their gender. Some women collaborated with the enemy and were subject to execution or imprisonment after the wars while others stayed at the "home front" and involved themselves in volunteer work to contribute to the war effort. Through readings of novels, plays, poetry, short stories, diaries, memoirs, and history books, and through viewings of art, documentary, and feature films, we will study the experiences of European women during World War I and World War II; and consider the social and political changes these events brought to their lives.
