The selected works foreground how women's representations of war can challenge masculine conceptualizations of public and domestic spheres. Christine Arkinstall analyses the works' overarching themes and symbols, such as honour, blood, the Virgin and the Mother, and the intersecting sexual, social, and racial contracts. In doing so, Arkinstall highlights how these texts imagine outcomes that deviate from established norms of femininity, offer new models to Spanish women, and interrogate the militaristic foundations of patriarchal societies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Arkinstall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487546262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487546267\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 12\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 5.98w x 1.02d","brand":"Christine Arkinstall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071504740607,"sku":"9781487546267","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58c97da6-f322-4af8-b5ea-a413835d8fe8.jpg?v=1685436492","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-on-war-in-spains-christine-arkinstall-9781487546267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
