Welcome

Welcome to GWonline, the Bibliography, Filmography and Webography on Gender and War since 1600.

The main goal of this digital humanities and public history project is to make the quickly growing intedisciplinary research on the important subject of gender and war and the increasing number of movies and websites related to this subject accessible for the public.  GWonline collects and organizes titles of secondary literature, women’s autobiographies, films and informative websites on this subject to make them available. Alongside full text searching, it allows users to explore the collections of curated sources through multiple entry points: author or director, publication or release date, collection, major wars, countries and regions or keywords. With its currently more than 8,500 carefully curated entries wiht literature, movie and websites in English, French, German and Spanish, its regular updates and the different search options it aims to be a useful resource for students, teachers and researchers.

GWonline is connected to the  Oxford Handbook of Gender and War since 1600 (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2019), edited by Karen Hagemann (general editor), Stefan Dudink and Sonya A. Rose. It also  allows a literature search by Handbook chapters. The approach and scope of the handbook defined the content of GWonline.

This project is supported by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was created in cooperation with UNC IT Research by a team of graduate and undergraduate students. Their weekly recommendations for literature, films and websites on the theme of gender and war you can find  on our  GWonline Facebook site.
