In sources as diverse as parliamentary records, newspaper articles, novels, medical texts, writings on sexology, and vocational literature, Roberts discovers a central question: how to come to terms with rapid economic, social, and cultural change and articulate a new order of social relationships. She examines the role of French trauma concerning the War in legislative efforts to ban propaganda for abortion and contraception, and explains anxieties about the decline of maternity by a crisis in gender relations that linked soldiery, virility, and paternity. In the raucous decade following World War I, newly blurred boundaries between male and female created fears among the French that theirs was becoming a civilization without sexes. This new gender confusion became a central metaphor for the War's impact on French culture and led to a marked increase in public debate concerning female identity and woman's proper role. Mary Louise Roberts examines how in these debates French society came to grips with the catastrophic horrors of the Great War. Through these debates, Roberts locates the seeds of actual change. She shows how the willingness to entertain, or simply the need to condemn, nontraditional gender roles created an indecisiveness over female identity that ultimately subverted even the most conservative efforts to return to traditional gender roles and irrevocably altered the social organization of gender in postwar France.

"In fin-de-siecle France, politics were in an uproar, and gender roles blurred as never before. Into this maelstrom stepped the "new woman," a group of primarily urban, middle-class French women who became the objects of intense public scrutiny. Some remained single, some entered non-traditional marriages, and some took up with the professions of medicine and law, journalism and teaching. All of them challenged traditional notions of womanhood by living unconventional lives and doing supposedly "masculine" work outside the home." "Mary Louise Roberts examines a constellation of famous new women active in journalism and the theater, including Marguerite Durand, founder of the women's newpaper La Fronde; the journalists Severine and Gyp; and the actress Sarah Bernhardt. Roberts demonstrates how the tolerance for play acting in both these arenas allowed new women to stage acts that profoundly disrupted accepted gender roles. The existence of La Fronde itself was such an act, because it demonstrated that women could write just as well about the same subjects as men - even about the volatile Dreyfus Affair. When female reporters for La Fronde put on disguises to get a scoop or wrote under a pseudonym, and when actresses played men on stage, they demonstrated that gender identities were not fixed or natural, but inherently unstable. Thanks to the adventures of new women like these, conventional domestic femininity was exposed as a choice, not a destiny."--Jacket.

Exploitant des documents officiels de propagande, des journaux intimes et des mémoires de soldats, l'auteure révèle que le commandement militaire américain a sciemment érotisé la France et exploité le mythe de la femme française pour mobiliser ses troupes, notamment lors du Débarquement. Les conséquences furent les romances, mais aussi la prostitution et les agressions sexuelles. ©Electre 2015

"This is an unflinching history of the Western Front in World War II told through the physical misery of the soldiers who fought there. Roberts describes the experiences not only of American and British troops, but of French and German soldiers, too. Though she ranges across the Western Front, her primary cases are the winter campaigns of 43-44 in Italy and 44-45 in Belgium, both crucial to the war's outcome"--

"Comment convaincre les GI de débarquer sur les plages de Normandie et de se jeter sous le feu ennemi au péril de leur vie ? En invoquant le patriotisme, la solidarité entre les démocraties, les crimes barbares des nazis ? Sans nul doute. Mais un autre argument fut employé au sein de l'armée américaine en 1944 : « Pensez à la beauté des femmes françaises qui n'attendent que vous et sauront comment récompenser leurs libérateurs. »S'appuyant sur de très nombreux documents d'archives, ce livre raconte une histoire fascinante et dérangeante : le commandement militaire américain a « vendu » le Débarquement à ses GI comme une aventure érotique et a sciemment exploité le mythe de la femme française experte en matière sexuelle et disponible. Il jette une lumière crue sur les conséquences de cette propagande : la prostitution débordante partout où se trouvaient des GI, exposant leurs relations sexuelles au vu et au su de tous, mais aussi les agressions sexuelles et les viols. Loin d'être anecdotique, la sexualité des GI fut l'un des enjeux de la bataille politique qui se jouait sur le territoire libéré, celle entre l'impérialisme américain et la souveraineté française. Humiliante, elle a contribué à nourrir l'antiaméricanisme d'après-guerre. Mary Louise Roberts enseigne l'histoire de France à l'université du Wisconsin. Elle est une spécialiste réputée de l'histoire des femmes et du genre."-- Site de l'éditeur.
