Here’s the first call for papers for the next Women’s History Network Annual
Conference, deadline 1 April 2014.

HOME FRONTS: GENDER, WAR AND CONFLICT
On 5-7 September 2014 at the University of Worcester

Offers of papers are invited which draw upon the perspectives of women’s and
gender history to discuss practical and emotional survival on the Home Front
during war and conflict. Although the term Home Front was initially used
during the First World War, and the conference coincides with the
commemorations marking the centenary of the beginning of this conflict, we
welcome papers which explore a range of Home Fronts and conflicts, across
diverse historical periods and geographical areas. For further details
