“Marking White Womanhood Between the Wars: Surplus Women and Trafficked Women” by Annaliese Hoehling

The title of the volume captures the stark absence of the acknowledgement of Whiteness at the core of Anglophone Modernism and in Modernist Studies. What happens when a nation suddenly has “too many women”? After World War I, Britain’s 1921 census indicated there were two million more women than men in the population. Newspapers quickly began publishing letters and opinion pieces about the “problem” of Surplus Women—a generation of unmarried, middle-class women whose very existence was framed as a national crisis.
