From patriotic rhetoric to the gritty realism of the Front Line, this anthology juxtaposes women's writing of fact and fiction and aims to present a rounded picture of World War I as it was lived and fought by women across Britain.
A fully-rounded anthology of women's writing from World War One containing the known and unknown biographers and fiction writers of the period. Explores the impact of the war on ideology, gender, genre and society and is a perfect complimentary text to Trudi Tate's Women Men and the Great War. Aims to re-read the First World War as a female experience by drawing on the public and private sources of a wide range of different women. Uses diaries, letters, articles and essays many of which have not been published. Invaluable source document for scholars in many disciplines.
