"Women in Europe Between the Wars"
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 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
