Arms and the Woman: War, Gender, and Literary Representation - Helen M. Cooper - Hardcover

Although the themes of women's complicity in and resistance to war have been part of literature from early times, they have not been fully integrated into conventional conceptions of the war narrative. Combining feminist literary criticism with the emerging field of feminist war theory, this collection explores the role of gender as an organizing principle in the war system and reveals how literature perpetuates the ancient myth of "arms and the man."Cooper, Helen M. is the author of 'Arms and the Woman: War, Gender, and Literary Representation - Helen M. Cooper - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780807818602 and ISBN 0807818607.
