Produktbeschreibung

In a period of high idealism, and 'titanic illimitable death' many women were determined to play an active role alongside their male compatriots. In this fascinating work Sharon Ouditt examines the traumatic nature of women's experience during the Great War, and the complex ideological structures they confronted and engaged with in order to legitimate their position in the public world.
