Women and World War 1 [PDF ebook] 
The Written Response

The literary canon of World War 1 — celebrated for realising the experience of an entire generation — ignores writing by women. To the sorrows that war has always brought them — the loss of husbands, lovers, brothers — the Great War added a revolutionary knowledge. And all the time they wrote — letters, poetry, novels, short stories, memoirs. This volume of mutually reflective essays brings this writing into literary focus and ensures that women’s recent history and literature are neither forgotten nor undervalued.
