This study aims to provide a fresh context for understanding gender relations in interwar Britain, seeing in the emergence of a powerful ideology of motherhood and a re-emphasis on separate spheres for men and women a corollary to the political and economic restructuring designed to re-establish social order after World War I. The War had often been justified to the British public by means of images that portrayed women as hostile or frightening - or as victims of sexual assault, as in the Belgian atrocity stories. These sexualized interpretations of war then shaped postwar understandings of gender, as psychiatrists, psychologists, and sexologists drew on metaphors of war to talk about relationships between men and women, likening any conflict between the sexes to the terrible chaos of the war years. Drawing on materials from posters to popular songs, from government reports to journalistic accounts, from memoirs and novels to diaries and letters, "Making Peace" is an analysis of how gendered and sexualized depictions of wartime experiences compelled many Britons to seek in traditional gender arrangements the key to postwar order and security.
