Cinq années durant, de la défaite de juin 1940 à la capitulation allemande de mai 1945, des milliers de femmes en uniforme, de France et de Navarre, civiles ou militaires, furent propulsées dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale, volontairement ou par hasard, parfois sans enthousiasme, voire contre leur gré. La France libre, le Royaume-Uni, les Etats-Unis d'Amérique, la résistance intérieure, la France combattante, le Gouvernement provisoire de la République française et le Comité français de libération nationale seront leurs principaux "employeurs", jeunes et moins jeunes, vétérantes de la Grande Guerre ou des luttes féministes de l'entre-deux-guerres vont alors faire connaissance avec une guerre d'un genre nouveau, avec le danger et la mort. Pour les plus jeunes ce sera parfois le moyen de quitter le cocon familial ; pour d'autres, plus âgées, une façon de donner un sens à leur vie. Pour reprendre une phrase pleine de sens de Suzanne Massu : "Bien des combattants d'hier tiennent pour inadmissible la présence de femmes dans leurs rangs.

"The 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which followed the death of President Habyarimana, was one of the worst humanitarian disasters of the twentieth century and shamed both African and global leaderships. As wars in the Congo continue to tear apart the region, this book examines how the politics that led to the 1994 genocide continue to be played out in the international media. Scholars of political science contend that narratives are used strategically by states to influence and shape the behaviour of other actors in the international system. This book explore how, through processes of denial and revisionism, strong states with geopolitical interests in the Great Lakes region of Africa, African states directly involved in conflict, militia groups and rebels, as well as human rights activists and NGOs, all employ media narratives strategically with the aim of influencing political decision-making and public perceptions of genocide and war.Examining how international political discourse on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda is gendered, Georgina Holmes argues that states, militaries and human rights organisations use gendered narratives for political gain, and breaks new ground in analysing the role of gender in the conflict. This book is essential reading on the gendered dynamics of conflict and genocide in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and will appeal to anyone with an interest in Gender Studies, Political Communication, Media and Film Studies, African Studies, Genocide Studies and International Relations."--Bloomsbury publishing.
