Description
An examination of women's role in war from the turn of the 19th-century to the present day, as fighters, workers, mothers and pacifists. Women have been increasingly involved in war and have filled both military and civilian roles. The areas covered range from the Crimea to Beirut, and there are case studies of such people as Florence Nightingale, Flora Sandes and Pauline Cutting. The book is part of a series which takes an original look at British women during the last two centuries. It uses documentary evidence, quotations and contemporary pictures, and is ideal for use in oral history projects. The series as a whole evaluates the often neglected contribution which women have made in shaping history. It is suitable as background reading for GCSE studies and Standard Grade in Scotland.
