Citizenship, Nation and Women: Archives in Focus

Описание: How do pamphlets illustrate transition and change in the interwar period of the twentieth century as well as ‘big’ concepts like citizenship? A conversation with Dr Dina Gusejnova (LSE International History). Dr Dina Gusejnova shows how pamphlets from the LSE Archives add to our knowledge of the changes affecting women, nationality and work in the interwar period.

The First World War is a major turning point as there are legal changes arising from the collapse of empires and the introduction of women’s suffrage as well as changes in expectations coming from different social groups which are more difficult to trace. Dr Gusejnova takes us through the use of pamphlets by progressives and unexpected finds, such as some groups in support of women’s rights are simultaneously driven by racist beliefs in segregation.

Please note there are references to offensive racist stereotypes and words from these historic pamphlets.

Dina Gusejnova (PhD in History, University of Cambridge) is Assistant Professor in International History at LSE. Her research interests centre on modern European political, intellectual and cultural history of transitional periods, especially the revolutions of 1918-20 and the two World Wars. She is currently interested in ideas of citizenship and nationality which emerged in the context of forced displacement and internment in the Second World War:
