Moving beyond military narratives centred on men, the book highlights how women – as journalists, memoirists, and activists – shaped the discourse around war and gender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocusing on conflicts like the War of the Pacific, the World Wars, and the Spanish Civil War, \u003cem\u003eGender Battles\u003c\/em\u003e reveals how women of the region navigated nationalistic frameworks to express evolving feminist ideas and challenge social norms. Their writing and organizing captures war not only as a battlefield struggle but as a force that defines gender roles, political structures, national, and transnational identities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMore than witnesses, the women of \u003cem\u003eGender Battles\u003c\/em\u003e reimagine the meaning of war itself: revealing its intimate connections to everyday life, personal autonomy, and global feminist movements. With an interdisciplinary approach, Miseres reforms our understanding of Latin American history and feminist thought, bringing to light a powerful legacy of Latin American women’s resilience, influence, and political intervention in times of conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56758257647990,"sku":"9781487509231","price":44.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38938859_72dc8173-123c-4acf-9b73-34ba0be97812.jpg?v=1764844536","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781487509231-gender-battles","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
