Warlike women are a recurring phenomenon in German literature and culture since 1500. Amazons, terrorists, warrior women - this volume of essays by leading scholars from the UK and Germany analyzes ideas and portrayals of these figures in the visual arts, society, media, and scholarship, always against the backdrop of Germany's development as a culture and as a nation. The contributors look for patterns in the historical portrayal of warlike women, asking the questions: what cultural signals are sent when women are shown occupying men's spaces by dressing as warriors or in men's clothing; what can legitimize the woman who bears arms; from what is the erotic potential of images linking women and violence derived; and, have recent feminist thought and political developments changed representations of warlike women. Contributors of this title include: Bettina Brandt, Sarah Colvin, Mererid Puw Davies, Peter Davies, Christine Eifler, Ute Frevert, Kathrin Hoffmann-Curtius, Ritchie Robertson, Daria Santini, Ruth Seifert, and Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly. Sarah Colvin is Eudo C. Mason Chair of German at the University of Edinburgh. Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly is Professor of German at Oxford University and Fellow and Tutor of Exeter College, Oxford.
