Women Heroes of World War I brings to life the brave exploits of 16
women from around the world who served their countries at a time
when most women didn't even have the right to vote.
Seventeen-year-old Frenchwoman Emilienne Moreau assisted the Allies
as a guide and set up a first-aid post in her home. Russian peasant
Maria Bochkareva joined the Imperial Russian Army, was twice
wounded in battle and decorated for bravery, and created and led
the all-women combat unit the Women's Battalion of Death. American
journalist Madeleine Zabriskie Doty risked her life to travel twice
to Germany during the war. Resented, watched, and pursued by spies,
she was determined to report back the truth. These and other
suspense-filled stories of daring girls and women from around the
world are told through fast-paced narrative, dialogue, direct
quotes, and document and diary excerpts. Historical background
information opens each section, and each profile includes
informative sidebars and "Learn More" lists of books and websites
for further study, making this a fabulous resource for young
history buffs or anyone who likes tales of bravery and courage.
