Description
Summary:Research on women and the Holocaust began with several groundbreaking conferences and publications in the early 1980s and is a growing area of inquiry within Holocaust studies. Authors of the earliest assays into the field of gender and the Holocaust had to argue for the legitimacy of isolating gender as a factor in the Holocaust experience; they faced scores of hostile critics who believed that the focus on women would trivialize Holocaust scholarship and detract from the specificity of the Jewish fate.
