Kuhlman explores the reasons so many progressive lawmakers and pacifists ended up forming the most vocal faction in favor of war. Concepts of femininity and masculinity and their relations to militarism, democracy, and citizenship were central to creating support for war. Initially opposed to military intervention, most male progressive pacifists came to view war as an opportunity to reinvigorate the nation's sagging manhood and nationhood. Some suffragists supported war because they saw war relief work as a way to prove themselves manly enough to withstand the rigors of citizenship during war, and therefore worthy of the vote. After the U.S. declared war, however, New York City feminists' critique of militarism undermined the unity of the progressives' support for war.

In this extremely original study, Erika Kuhlman compares the ways in which German and American widows experienced their postwar status, and how that played into the cultures of mourning in their two nations: one defeated, the other victorious. Each nation used widows and war dead as symbols to either uphold their victory or disengage from their defeat, but Kuhlman, parsing both German and U.S. primary sources, compares widows’ lived experiences to public memory.

1997Kuhlman argues, that wars and their aftermaths provide historians with a lens through which to view people’s connection to the nation. International armed conflicts elicited a complex web of responses, including heightened state powers, elevated expressions of patriotism, and international attempts at reconciling belligerent states. The task for the transnational historian is to scrutinize the relationship between the citizen and the state, and between people across national boundaries.
On July 10, 1999 Erika married Kevin R. Marsh.
