Gender, Women, and Sexuality in Modern Europe (HIST 2708W)

• Olivia Anderson, “The Last Witch in Europe” (Spring 2017)

Do you have bushy eyebrows? Dry eyes? Do you ever roll your eyes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are definitely a witch. 

• Ashley Bistram, movie proposal and moodboard (Spring 2022)

Eloise Baudeliare, a servant at Versailles in 1789, witnesses the birth of the French Revolution in Paris. Inspired by the revolutionaries, Eloise joins a group of women writing for the revolutionary movement. Confronted with the realities of war, Eloise learns what the price of freedom truly means.

• Teresa Boyd, essay on A Woman in Berlin (Spring 2019)

“Frau Golz, her voice breaking: “What flowers, what lovely flowers.”

The tears were running down her face. I felt terrible as well. Beauty hurts now.” 

• Joe Broding, review of Sarah Maza’s Violette Noziere: A Story of Murder in 1930s Paris (Spring 2019)

The young parent-killer gained national attention during her trial, yet disappeared from public memory in light of the rise of the Nazis and World War II. Even so, Sarah Maza has managed to reopen her story, and shed light on the time period. Maza lays out the details of Violette’s upbring, the nature of French society, and the details of her trial, as she tries to shed light on the lives of middle and working-class families of the 1920s and 30s.

Trench warfare was a new phenomenon that, when combined with improvements in medicine, led to new categories of disability which could not easily be incorporated into masculinity. Victorian masculinity was anchored on the bedrock of self-control and predicated on a wholeness of the body.
