First World War Nursing

Description

"The chapters in this volume focus on the thousands of women from the Allied nations who worked as nurses during the First World War... They consistently suggest that a serious consideration of a broad corpus of the written texts produced by nurses from different Allied nations leads us, necessarily, to revise our understanding of the First World War, offering important new (and, inevitably, gendered) perspectives on the experiences and legacies of war"--Introd.
