“Gender, Slavery, and the City in African History: Celebrating Kristin Mann."
The 4th Annual Lagos Studies Association Conference. Lagos, Nigeria. June 27-29, 2019

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.
