“Why isnt there a girl version of the ww2/ancient rome/napoleonic war/cold war history boy” one teenage girls are very much interested in those topics as well they just tend to speak up less about it because those spaces are full of misogynist assholes. Two it’s because reporting back from the field the main camps of interest for teenage girls tend to be messy dynastic collapses (the Plantagenets, the Romanovs, Maria Antoinette), what I’m gonna call disaster history (the Titanic, Chernobyl, the triangle shirtwaist factory fire that one is serious business to them), gross wacky medical shit, and most popular of all what I would describe as a naescent desire to get to the heart of all human evil and understand what could motivate it (imperialism, genocide, eugenics).

There are now more female academics/faculty/students/etc in more historically 'male-identified' hist/anth subjects and it's to the fucking better because we get more and different work on topics a lot of people thought got put to bed a while ago, even just taking a whack at new sources. 2018 Appears to be a pivotal year but the shift was decades in the making for female military historians!

Yes, Women Do Study Military History

In an important article over at Eidolon, Nadejda Williams discusses the visibility of female military historians within the field of ancient

There Are More Women Military Historians Than Ever Before. Why Hasn’t the Field Noticed?

There is a lovely expression in my adoptive home of Georgia: “bless your heart.” It can be used as a genuine expression of sympathy, but…

It is no longer 1980. Women have been producing some of the most innovative scholarship in military history in the past couple of decades. Not all of them would necessarily classify themselves as military historians, but all of them are doing path-breaking work that presents a more complex and nuanced picture of Greek and Roman warfare than one might find in such standard classics of the field as Kendrick Pritchett’s monumental (pace Finley) five-volume tour-de-force The Greek State At War. Overall, I would argue that women’s work on military history, whether ancient or modern, exemplifies the best of what historians now call “New Military History” — the study of war that looks beyond battles and campaigns. Acknowledging that war was a horrific and painful process that affected real people, women’s scholarship on war is much more likely than the scholarship of men to deal with those issues related to suffering and trauma to both combatants and civilians. As a result, also, many women scholars who work on war consider gender issues as they relate to war. Others look at the impact of war on society more broadly. To give just a few examples of great women scholars who are publishing on various aspects of Greek and Roman military history, the folklorist Adrienne Mayor has won a slew of awards for The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women across the Ancient World. One of Mayor’s earlier books, Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World, challenges the more traditional narrative of Greek warfare as driven by honor and tradition. I assign it every time I teach Greek and Roman Warfare, and every time, the students say that it is their favorite book in the class.

Can't wait for the field to be 50% women and suddenly become a "girl thing" and not all that serious or important and have men leave the field in droves. It sucks that this happens to every field that women get into (biology, real estate, etc.,) but also I hope to live to see the day when men start saying "ugh, the Roman Empire and World War II are for girls" with full sincerity.

Happy 100th Birthday David Attenborough [b: 8th May 1926]

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

I get in the dumps at times, and don’t open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I’ll soon be right.
