“In the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, as in so many later conflicts, British women seem to have been no more markedly pacifist than men. Instead, and exactly like so many of their male countrymen, some women found ways of combining support for the national interest with a measure of self-promotion. By assisting the war effort, women demonstrated that their concerns were by no means confined to the domestic sphere. Under cover of a patriotism that was often genuine and profound, they carved out for themselves a real if precarious place in the public sphere.” IfsMenWayMeanHas BeensWarRealSelfSeemsFoundInterestEffortSupportConflictConcernProfoundMalesBritishGenuineFranceRevolutionarySpheresPromotionConfinedCountrymenPacifistCombiningPrecariousBritish HistoryNational InterestsAssistingSelf PromotionNapoleonic Author:Linda Colley
