The centennial of World War I and renewed interest in the devastating German colonial conflicts inspire us to revisit both well-known and rare texts written by German-speaking women about these violent struggles. This volume examines narratives of war beyond the arenas of combat and deepens our understanding of the gendered experience of war as it intersects with issues of race, class and nation."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Print version record Subject German literature -- Women authors -- History and criticism World War, 1914-1918 -- Germany -- Literature and the war German literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism German literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism.
