In central Brussels stands a statue of a young woman. Built in 1923, it is the first monument to a working-class woman in European history. Her name was Gabrielle Petit. History has forgotten Petit, an ambitious and patriotic Belgian, executed by firing squad in 1916 for her role as an intelligence agent for the British Army. After the First World War she was celebrated as an example of stern endeavour, but a hundred years later her memory has faded. In the first part of this historical biography Sophie De Schaepdrijver uses Petit's life to explore gender, class and heroism in the context of occupied Europe. Petit's experiences reveal the reality of civilian engagement under military occupation and the emergence of modern espionage. The second part of the book focuses on the legacy and cultural memory of Petit and the First World War. By analysing Petit's representation in ceremony, discourse and popular culture De Schaepdrijver expands our understanding of remembrance across the 20th century.

Gabrielle Petit vécut de 1860 à 1952. Militante infatigable, conférencière reconnue et admirée en son temps, son nom est presque inconnu aujourd'hui, comme d'ailleurs celui de tant d'autres femmes, militantes féministes. Jean Maitron, dans son Dictionnaire biographique du mouvement ouvrier français, évoque l'engagement libertaire et féministe de Gabrielle Petit, cependant l'article n'est guère complet et on trouvera dans le texte de Madeleine Laude de quoi nourrir sa curiosité. Gabrielle Petit a dirigé le journal La Femme affranchie de 1904 à 1913, puis, une nouvelle fois, en 1930. Parmi les nombreux thèmes développés, La Femme affranchie a consacré quantité d'articles à la dénonciation de la prostitution. Gabrielle Petit est au rendez-vous du syndicalisme et du féminisme. Elle est dans l'histoire et les combats de son temps - et du nôtre -, car le combat pour l'" affranchissement " est toujours d'actualité. La place de la femme n'est-elle pas toujours et encore inférieure...

A commemoration of brave yet largely forgotten women who served in the First World War In time for the 2014 centennial of the start of the Great War, this book brings to life the brave and often surprising exploits of 16 fascinating women from around the world who served their countries at a time when most of them didn’t even have the right to vote. Readers meet 17-year-old Frenchwoman Emilienne Moreau, who assisted the Allies as a guide and set up a first-aid post in her home to attend to the wounded; Russian peasant Maria Bochkareva, who joined the Imperial Russian Army by securing the personal permission of Tsar Nicholas II, was twice wounded in battle and decorated for bravery, and created and led the all-women combat unit the “Women’s Battalion of Death” on the eastern front; and American journalist Madeleine Zabriskie Doty, who risked her life to travel twice to Germany during the war in order to report back the truth, whatever the cost. These and other suspense-filled stories of brave girls and women are told through the use of engaging narrative, dialogue, direct quotes, and document and diary excerpts to lend authenticity and immediacy. Introductory material opens each section to provide solid historical context, and each profile includes informative sidebars and “Learn More” lists of relevant books and websites, making this a fabulous resource for students, teachers, parents, libraries, and homeschoolers.

This volume will be of interest to everyone seeking to understand the relationship between war as an historical narrative and its representation in the arts and in culture, notably in literature, film, theatre and music. More specifically, it will be of the greatest interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and academics in a wide range of disciplines, including literary studies, film and drama studies, music, and history. The Introduction, by Jay Winter, sets the context, particularly with reference to the First World War, while the Conclusion summarises the significance of the research undertaken and its value for future research. This book will also have an impact on writers, publishers and organizers of exhibitions, museums, memorial sites and monuments whose influence in the field of war and memory has been increasing steadily in recent years. The imminent celebrations and commemorations pertaining to the Great War, beginning in 2014, together with the imminence of the seventieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2015, will provide additional stimuli to public attention in this area over the next few years.

Excerpt from Gabrielle Petit: Drame en 5 Tableaux Les episodes choisis pour composer les quatre premiers tableaux de ce drame biographique: - passage de la frontiere, enrolement dans le contre-espionnage, cooperation a la bande Backelmans et evasion de Hasselt - sont historiques, pour le fonds seulement. Leur mise en scene a du etre imaginee par l'auteur, ou plutot empruntee a des recits d'evenements analogues. Chacun d'eux vise a representer la vie nationale pendant la grande guerre en des coins differents: le long du canal de la Meuse ou la jeunesse affronte toutes les barrieres pour rallier le front; dans l'extreme Flandre restee libre comme aux temps des Menapiens et de Cesar; en plein Bruxelles ou sevit surtout le regime des tracasseries mesquines que notre bonne humeur exacerbe; dans les environs de Bourg-Leopold et de Beverloo, ou des nuees d'espions et d'areoplanes allemands surveillent et sont surveilles. Le dernier tableau est historique jusque dans les moindres details. Gabrielle avait tenu secrete toute sa vie militaire; elle n'a pas voulu ni n'a pu la raconter, par le menu, aux siens. Seuls ses derniers moments nous sont parvenus d'une facon complete. C'est la raison du choix de la matiere dramatique. Cette deuxieme edition qui suit, de quelques mois, la premiere et l'execution de la piece dans un grand nombre de villes prouvent que, dans notre pays, le souvenir de Gabrielle Petit n'est pas pres de s'eteindre. Il est bon de le cultiver en ces temps d'internationalisme et de preoccupations materielles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A “superlative social history” of British women’s efforts in WWI and how they led to the women’s suffrage movement—includes photos (Books Monthly). In this fascinating history, husband and wife coauthors Stephen and Tanya Wynn chronicle the effects of the Great War on the lives of women, and how those experiences shaped the women’s suffrage movement. Before the war, women were employed as domestic servants, clerical workers, shop assistants, teachers, or barmaids. But after the outbreak of World War I, women began working in munitions factories, as nurses in military hospitals, bus drivers, mechanics, and taxi drivers. They began filling jobs and social roles that had previously been reserved only for men. When the war finally came to a close, there was no going back for these determined women. Many were experiencing financial freedom for the first time and were reluctant to give up their independence. At the same time, tens of thousands of women were widowed with young children and already navigating new lives as heads of household. Chronicling the collective and individual stories of British women during the war, Women in the GreatWar demonstrates the profound and lasting impact the female war effort had on women’s social history.

In archaeology, photography is mainly used as a technique for gathering data and evidence. Within the framework of the research project '(in)site, site-specific photography revisited' the relationship between photography and archaeology, or broader, history is explored. How do photographers visualize history? What is the importance of place, particularly the place that remains after the event took place? How do photographers or artists use photography to depict the past, when time has become 'past time'? These articles and portfolios explore, both on practical and theoretical level, how history can be captured. The research project is an attempt to redefine the traditional relationship between archaeology and photography in order to produce new forms of image-making more adapted to contemporary visual culture. The project considers photography as a practice in which a picture is shaped and constructed by the photographer, not a practice in which a picture is mechanically taken.
