Books by Claire Duchen

This work focuses on the experiences of women in Europe during the transition from war to peace. Popular images of women represent them as welcoming home the soldiers, but this text asks "what happened next?". The contributors use a range of methodological approaches.

This volume explores women's everyday lives in France between the liberation in 1944 and May 1968. It considers in particular, the tensions created by competing visions of woman's "proper place".
