Product Description
Synopsis
Praised by the Chicago Sun-Times for its 'furious, indignant power', this story offers a rare, funny, bitter, feminist look at war. Published in London in 1930, this is a novel in autobiographical guise that describes a group of British women ambulance drivers on the French front lines during World War 1. As Voluntary Aid Detachment workers, the women pay for the privilege of driving the wounded through shell fire in the cold, on no sleep and an inedible diet, under the watchful eye of their punishing commandant, nicknamed Mrs Bitch.
