"Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat". Women, War and Clothes in Great Britain During the Second World War. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Eve in Overalls och Make Do and Mend var informationsbroschyrer som gavs ut i Storbritannien under andra världskriget för att informera om de olika arbetsroller kvinnor intog i samhället under krigsåren samt hur hushållets alla bestyr bäst kunde bemästras i krigstider. Uppsatsens fokus ligger på hur genus och mode samspelade och hur detta uttrycktes i broschyrerna. Vidare belyses hur den förändrade situationen för kvinnorna i samhället fungerade som en katalysator för emancipation och den roll som kläder och mode spelade för denna utveckling.

Abstract [en]

Eve in Overalls and Make Do and Mend were information brochures published in Britain during World War II to inform about the different work roles women took on in society during the war years and how all household chores could best be mastered in times of war. The focus of the essay is on how gender and fashion interacted and how this was expressed in the brochures. It also sheds light on how the changed situation for women in society functioned as a catalyst for emancipation and the role that clothing and fashion played in this development.
