Reconsiderations of the United States and
the Two Germanys
Historians have long understood that wars can
serve as a catalyst for change. From the perspective
of gender, we would argue, the war opened up
possibilities for women and men on both sides of
the Atlantic. This conference will bring together a
group of scholars to explore why this was so.
