H-Women's purpose is to enable historians more easily to discuss research interests, teaching methods, and the state of the field and historiography of women's studies. H-Women is especially interested in methods of teaching history to graduate and undergraduate students in diverse settings.
Hello,
I am looking to organize a panel that examines the gendered reception of women soldiers, or women's wartime violence more broadly. My paper examines American feminist accounts of the Women's Battalions of Death in Russia in 1917, and explores how they justified and/or denounced women's violence during war time. I also integrate my research about the reception of the Women's Battalion leader, Mariia Bochkareva, and her 1918 trip to the United States.
