Women of war is an examination of gender modernity using the
world's longest established women's military organisation, the
First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. These New Women's adoption of martial
uniform and military-style training, their inhabiting of public
space, their deployment of innovative new technologies such as the
motor car, the illustrated press, advertisements and cinematic film
and their proactive involvement in the First World War illustrate
why the Corps and its socially elite members are a particularly
revealing case study of gender modernity. Bringing into dialogue
both public and personal representations, it makes a major
contribution to the social and cultural history of Britain in the
early twentieth century and will appeal to undergraduates,
postgraduates and scholars working in the fields of military
history, animal studies, trans studies, dress history, sociology of
the professions, nursing history and transport history. -- .
