This lively collection of essays showcases recent research into the
impact of the conflict on British women during the First World War
and since. Looking outside of the familiar representations of
wartime women as nurses, munitionettes, and land girls, it
introduces the reader to lesser-known aspects of women's war
experience, including female composers' musical responses to the
war, changes in the culture of women's mourning dress, and the
complex relationships between war, motherhood, and politics.
Written during the war's centenary, the chapters also consider the
gendered nature of war memory in Britain, exploring the emotional
legacies of the conflict today, and the place of women's wartime
stories on the contemporary stage. The collection brings together
work by emerging and established scholars contributing to the
shared project of rewriting British women's history of the First
World War. It is an essential text for anyone researching or
studying this history. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Women's History Review.
