Product Description
Synopsis
Women from across the social spectrum had their lives transformed by World War I. The literary culture of the early 20th century led a surprising number of women to write about their experiences, recording everything from their emotional responses and political impulses to their new experiences of the world of work. Writing by women as diverse as Sylvia Pankhurst, Virginia Woolf and Vesta Tilley are blended with extracts from the private diaries and letters of "unknown" women, to provide a sometimes tragic, sometimes comic testimony. From patriotic rhetoric to the gritty realism of the Front Line, this anthology juxtaposes fact and fiction and aims to present a rounded picture of World War I as it was lived and fought by women across Britain.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enlightening work that deserves a wide audience., 10 May 2000
By A Customer
This has been my most rewarding impulse purchase for years. The book sheds new light on an aspect of WWI that receives minimal attention elsewhere. In particular, Pankhurst is seen in a new light, and the editors comments put the era in clear perspective. I look forward to more of the same and strongly recommend the book to those readers of more popular books on recent history.
