Courage and Grief: Women and Sweden's Thirty Years' War by Mary Elizabeth Ailes

Reviewed by: Courage and Grief: Women and Sweden's Thirty Years' War by Mary Elizabeth Ailes Britt Mitchell (bio) Review of Mary Elizabeth Ailes. Courage and Grief: Women and Sweden's Thirty Years' War Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2018. 234 pages. $55.00 In recent years, Sweden has emerged as a leader on feminist and family issues, promoting social policies that provide women with societal and economic support for the biological work of childbirth and breastfeeding as well as fostering equality in the workplace. While the rest of the world looks to Sweden [End Page 201] for ideas and innovations on such subjects, what is the origin of Sweden's inspiration? One answer emerges from the scholarship of Mary Elizabeth Ailes in her recently published Courage and Grief: Women and Sweden's Thirty Years' War. A little-studied subtopic in a well-studied conflict, the roles of women both on the field of battle in German Saxony and at home in continental Sweden were critical components of Sweden's shifting social norms both during and after the years of conflict, from 1618 and 1648. Additionally, Sweden's shift during the war from the reign of battle-proven King Gustavus Adolphus to his daughter, Queen Christina, amid revolutionary changes to the manner in which both warfare and diplomacy were conducted, allowed for relatively minor yet historically significant shifts in practices surrounding land ownership, payments of debt, and inheritance. The gates of history turn on small hinges. Although Ailes does not explicitly set out to make this case, her meticulously collected and catalogued sources—journals, account books, and petitions to the court—do the work for her, parsing out the important roles played by women during the war. Divided into four parts, the book begins with "Women on Campaign," then moves to "Women and Conscription," "Officers' Wives on the Home Front," and concludes with "Queen Christina and Female Military Leadership." Each section takes account of a different group of women and the role they played in moving forward the military campaigns associated with the Thirty Years' War and women's societal roles, including individual accounts of women who were part of each group, and concludes by noting significant changes to Swedish social and legal systems that occurred in the wake of the conflict. In the first section, "Women on Campaign," Ailes recounts and assesses the roles played by the many women who frequently accompanied battalions in military campaigns. These women were both needed and criticized by soldiers and commanders. They cared for the physical and emotional needs of the armies, laundering clothes and cooking meals, but were frequently disparaged as an impediment to military success. Strict rules regarding the marital status of women in the caravan were often enacted by commanders, but the challenges of battle made them difficult to enforce. Such rules, designed to prevent sexual distractions among soldiers, failed to account for the frequent widowing associated with warfare, the growth of young daughters into women, and the need for female companionships among wives of soldiers. The [End Page 202] women who accompanied husbands and fathers on campaign developed a unique economy that provided opportunity for the development of skills and trade, advancement opportunities for military children, and a social safety net for military families. Women who took part in these activities had opportunities to travel, learn, and teach in ways that were often unavailable to women that remained behind. Upon returning to Sweden following husbands' deaths or the end of the war, these women were a source of human capital that had an important impact on reshaping society in the aftermath of the war. The second section, "Peasant Women and Conscription" details some of the economic and social shifts that occurred in Sweden as a result of the conscription rules associated with the war. Because the economic capacity of Sweden was dependent on both having adequate laborers to work the farmland and adequate soldiers to carry out the campaigns of the war, a conscription strategy was adopted. Naturally, this strategy prioritized the needs of the state over the needs of the individuals. Under these rules, it was women who took a lead in working the system to ensure that...

Wsparcie i płeć psychologiczna kobiet i mężczyzn – raport z badań

The aim of the research was to determine the psychological gender against the background of a partner’s support and the spouse’s workplace. The research involved a group of 503 married women and men, including 354 professional soldiers - of who 152 have participated in military missions and 202 work in Poland.

The respondents, in majority showing androgynous characteristics, perceive the support on the part of their families as average or very low. Substantial differences as to the psychological gender and support have been observed in the group of soldiers doing their service in their home country. The feminine men and people with unspecified gender identity seem to receive the lowest support, while the androgynous people and male men experience the highest one. Interesting dispersion of results has been observed - the lowest for the group of feminine men, the highest for the androgynous ones

Women’s Experiences: Memories of Portuguese Revolution

In this article I attempt to analyze the social memories of wives of soldiers in service on April 25th 1974, through the methodology of analysis recommended by Adele Clarke (2005), using data collected in 11 interviews conducted between 2005 and 2008 under a PhD project. As a conceptual framework I adopt the perspective of social memory in the tradition of Halbwachs (1992) and following Marc Auge (2001) and Paul Ricoeur (2004), which emphasizes the social and collective memory and points out the dynamic role it plays in building a meaning to the world. This analysis takes into account the dimensions of work, family, education, politics and social life, social and economic conditions and the expectations and dreams on which the interviewees draw comparisons between 1974 and the present and also produce judgments.

Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for America's Independence

Revolutionary Mothers uses a topical, biographical approach to introduce a general readership to women's experiences during the American Revolution. Eight chapters on specific groups of women are bookended with chapters that look at women's status before and after the war. Carol Berkin's conclusion is that after a brief interlude of extraordinary activity during the Revolution, women settled into a new role that offered them expanded authority as intellectual beings and the moral arbiters of the new age in exchange for a reduced recognition as participants in the economy. Those who were poor or of color lost the most in this transformation. The opening chapter paints a gloomy version of women's lives before the Revolution. Prescriptive descriptions of women's roles are given more weight than the actual lives that women lived. The tight focus of the interior chapters on wartime participation provides little insight into the postwar changes in role definition Berkin discusses, but biographical profiles provide a lively human face on women's activities not only on the home front but also as protesters, spies, soldiers, wives of soldiers, escaped slaves, and Indian leaders. The stories are often bittersweet—women who escape slavery only to die of smallpox, women made homeless by war, hungry camp followers barely tolerated by the army. There are exceptions, resourceful spies and generals' wives who create a home in camp despite heavy odds, but overall Berkin notes time and again how women had to settle for less or were marginalized or domesticated.

The Desert Fax: A Research Note on Calling Home from Somalia

Survey data from near 500 civilian wives of soldiers from who deployed to Somalia for Operation Restore Hope were analyzed to determine how the mechanics of soldier-family communications affected spouse adaptation to the stresses of the deployment. Difficulty communicating with the soldier (particularly "connecting for the first time") was one of the most frequent problems that spouses experienced. This difficulty was more strongly related to the characteristics of the soldiers' units (i.e., type and location within Somalia) than to the characteristics of the soldiers themselves. Problems communicating during the deployment not only predicted the level of spouse stress during the deployment, but also affected either directly or through "spouse stress" several outcomes that are important to Army planners. Those outcomes included: (1) spouse support for the soldier remaining in the Army, (2) the soldiers reenlistment intention, (3) spouse support for peacekeeping missions, and (4) family adaptation to Army life.

Life events and symptomatic recovery of army spouses following Operation Desert Storm.

The relation between life events and psychiatric symptoms among wives of soldiers deployed to the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm (ODS) was examined. Psychiatric symptoms were measured, using the 25-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL), at two times, once while the soldiers were away and a second time several months after they returned. In a multiple regression analysis, symptoms at Time 2 were predicted by post-Desert Storm events as well as by events and emotional stressors that occurred during the military operation. The strongest predictor of post-Desert Storm events was pre-Desert Storm events. The impact of the deployment was also assessed on the basis of respondents' symptom profiles over time. Although 70% of the respondents were symptomatic during the deployment, 40% had recovered by Time 2; only 24% were symptomatic at both times. Even in the latter group, there was an improvement in symptoms between Time 1 (T1) and Time 2 (T2).

Psychiatric symptomatology among wives of soldiers following combat stress reaction: The role of the social network and marital relations

Abstract Living with a veteran who has sustained a combat stress reaction (CSR) during wartime or who is currently suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may often be accompanied by increased levels of psychopathology and social dysfunction among wives. The current study examined 44 wives of CSR veterans in order to determine whether relations with other members of the social network may reduce the risk of psychiatric symptomatology among these wives and thereby compensate them for the loss of support in their marital relationship. Findings show that the only relationship within the immediate or extended family consistently related with wives' mental health is that with the veteran husband. The second aim of this study was to examine which aspects of the marital relationship are associated with wives' mental health. Results show that the only marital factor which makes a significant and independent contribution to wives' mental health is the degree of expressiveness in the relationship.

A Socio-Economic Analysis of the Functions and Attitudes of Wartime Youths

Anxieties of wives may be kindled by observing civilians who seem to be better off because of the war. Most war wives realize the need for men in industry; nevertheless, they are resentful of the family unity, family stability, the emotional, financial, and social security of those not separated by war. Wives of soldiers may on occasion feel contemptuous toward people who are going through this period too easily; yet they envy the state of security and unity they despise. Thoughtless civilians irritate the soldier's wife by bragging about their present income and complaining about minor inconveniences. Some service men's wives report that they feel like flinging some uncomplimentary epithet at men of military age, such as why aren't you in uniform? or look at the 4F! Perhaps these feelings are a result of war nerves and merely manifest the tenseness under which many war wives live. They are proud, even though unhappy, of their husbands' membership in the armed forces, but demonstrate that the old adage misery loves company still holds. Some soldiers and their wives seem to worry more than others, and those have a fertile field upon which to let imagination feed during this war. Yet, no one would deny that the persons involved have a great deal to worry about. Civilians can aid by trying to understand the plight of families torn apart by war, by helping to build toward goals of world peace, and by acknowledging the gratitude due all soldiers and their wives for the sacrifices of service on the war and home fronts.
