Beskrivning

Women, Violence and Trauma in Wartime and Post-War North Adriatic Region>/cite> offers a powerful rethinking of Europe’s twentieth century through women’s experiences of conflict and its long aftermath. Focusing on the North-Adriatic region while moving beyond national frames, this interdisciplinary volume uncovers how violence did not end with ceasefires but continued to shape women’s lives through displacement, sexual violence, loss, psychiatric suffering, and social exclusion. Drawing on a rich range of sources—psychiatric records, diaries, autobiographies, oral histories, literature, film, and archival documents—the contributors foreground voices long marginalized in official histories. Together, the chapters reveal both vulnerability and resilience, tracing how trauma was lived, narrated, silenced, and politically instrumentalized across different post-war contexts, from the early Cold War to post-socialist societies. This collection reshapes debates in gender history, memory studies, and trauma research, offering new insights into how women endured, interpreted, and transformed the violent legacies of the twentieth century.
