Book Description
Excerpt from British Women in Serbia and the War It may not seem modest for-me, an unknown Serb, to come before the British and tell them what I think now and what I thought before of Women's Suffrage and of British women. But, in the first place, 1 am speaking impersonally, a representative of many whose convictions have been modified With regard to this question. Public statements of the same kind are becoming every day more frequent in this country. And I have also a special reason for my confession. I have been placed in circumstances which have given me the opportunity of following closely the work of British women in one of the most exposed areas which the War has seen, that is, in Serbia, at times and in places where courage, presence of mind, and resourcefulness were necessary to face the difficulties in which, as the Serbian proverb ksays, heroes prove themselves.

British women of the Eastern Front
Author: Angela K. Smith
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526100037
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
This book explores the experiences of a range of women from the early days of 1914, through the big events of the war on the Eastern Front. Their diaries, letters, memoirs and journalism are used to investigate the extraordinary role played by British women during the fall of Serbia, the Russian Revolution and the final push, and their role in reconstruction following the Armistice. These women, and their writings, are examined through the multiple lenses of gender, nationality, patriotism, imperialism and legacy, but the book also tells the stories of individuals, and will appeal across audiences to students, researchers and general readers. This is the first book to examine the war in the East through the eyes of British women and as such makes an important contribution to First World War Studies.

First World War Nursing
Author: Alison S. Fell
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134626991
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
This book brings together a collection of works by scholars who have produced some of the most innovative and influential work on the topic of First World War nursing in the last ten years. The contributors employ an interdisciplinary collaborative approach that takes into account multiple facets of Allied wartime nursing: historical contexts (history of the profession, recruitment, teaching, different national socio-political contexts), popular cultural stereotypes (in propaganda, popular culture) and longstanding gender norms (woman-as-nurturer). They draw on a wide range of hitherto neglected historical sources, including diaries, novels, letters and material culture. The result is a fully-rounded new study of nurses’ unique and compelling perspectives on the unprecedented experiences of the First World War.
