About the event

Lecture: Beyond weeping and waiting - women, war and the limits of protection, 1914-1918
In het kader van ‘Orange the World’, de wereldwijde campagne tegen geweld tegen vrouwen en meisjes (25 november – 10 december), geeft Dr. Chloë Pieters een lezing over de rol van vrouwen tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Ze vertelt over de echte en voorgestelde beelden van vrouwen in oorlogstijd, en hoe overheden vrouwen aanmoedigden en organiseerden om de oorlog op allerlei manieren te ondersteunen. De lezing nodigt uit het traditionele beeld van de passieve, wachtende vrouw te herzien en te zien hoe vrouwen tijdens de oorlog hun eigen lot in handen namen.

As part of ‘Orange the World’, the global campaign against violence towards women and girls (25 November–10 December), Dr. Chloë Pieters will give a lecture on the role of women during the First World War. She will discuss women’s real and imagined roles in wartime, and how they were mobilised by states to support the war, materially and emotionally. The lecture invites us to rethink the traditional image of the passive, waiting woman and to see how women took control of their own lives during the war.
