She traces the women warriors in this work as reflections of the social and political climate in German-speaking lands, and she reveals how literary texts and cultural artifacts that highlight women's armed insurrection perpetuated the false dichotomy of \"public\" versus \"private\" spheres along a gendered fault line. Koser illuminates how reactionary visions of \"ideal femininity\" competed with subversive fantasies of new femininities in the ideological battle being waged over the restructuring of German society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Koser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081013232X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810132320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016","brand":"Julie Koser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199057187071,"sku":"9780810132320","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecfaaeb5-9e6c-4f4e-a65e-92a613e41cb3.jpg?v=1727924905","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armed-ambiguity-julie-koser-9780810132320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
