Do their policies modernize, or entrench pre-modern gender roles? In \u003ci\u003eMothers of the Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, Patrizia Albanese addresses these questions by assessing the impact of nationalist regimes on the status of women and families in Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Russia, at two different points in history: the aftermath of the First World War, which saw a rise in the number of nationalist governments in power, and the last decade of the twentieth century, which saw a revival of ethno-nationalist sentiment in these areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComparing nationalist and non-nationalist polities in order to establish the degree to which these governments differ in their treatment of women and families, Albanese concludes that although most ethno-nationalist regimes intend to return women to their 'natural' place in the home as housewives and mothers, their initiatives are mostly ineffective. These reforms are vehemently opposed by women's groups or individual women, are often reversed by subsequent governments, and have little long term demographic impact. \u003ci\u003eMothers of the Nation\u003c\/i\u003e is an important addition to the study of women in a transnational context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrizia Albanese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080209015X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802090157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Patrizia Albanese","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47036566634751,"sku":"9780802090157","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_608caa46-d3bf-4a37-ad8f-547a8c87e23d.jpg?v=1752637963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mothers-of-the-nation-patrizia-albanese-9780802090157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
