This is the story of how women in France and Britain between 1915
and 1933 appropriated the cultural identity of female war veteran
in order to have greater access to public life and a voice in a
political climate in which women were rarely heard on the public
stage. The 'veterans' covered by this history include former
nurses, charity workers, secret service agents and members of
resistance networks in occupied territory, as well as members of
the British auxiliary corps. What unites these women is how they
attempted to present themselves as 'female veterans' in order to
gain social advantages and give themselves the right to speak about
the war and its legacies. Alison S. Fell also considers the limits
of the identity of war veteran for women, considering as an example
the wartime and post-war experiences of the female industrial
workers who led episodes of industrial action.
