Nurse Memoirs from the Great War in Britain, France, and Germany
examines an understudied corpus of memoirs in English, French, and
German stemming from the unprecedented involvement of women in the
war effort. Jerry Palmer considers the memoirs in relationship to
public opinion, collective memory and other women's writing about
the war. Through close-readings of the memoirs and their contexts,
the book identifies themes present in the texts and considers the
nurse memoir as rhetoric-examining to what extent the texts are
promoting or countering arguments in the public sphere about their
involvement or more widely about women's position in society.
Palmer explores the multiple contexts related to the nurse memoirs,
including public response to volunteer wartime nursing, the
organisation of the military health services of the three nations
and their conduct in the war, and changes in the post-war
organization of public health services and the professionalization
of nursing.
