In this study, Sharon Ouditt examines the traumatic and constantly
shifting nature of women's experience during the World War I. By
examining propaganda, journals, women's magazines, unpublished
memoirs and contemporary fiction, the author reveals the challenge
to feminine identity which the War demanded and attempted to
restrict. Rather than achieve sudden and unproblematic independence
through their entry into the public sphere of work and politics,
women found themselves having to construct complex ideological
structures in order to legitimate their role as "temporary"
citizens - whether as crusading nurses, landworkers or pacifist
activists. At once historically committed and theoretically
informed, this text should appeal to anyone interested in the ways
in which women managed their involvement during the First World
War, in the relationship between literature and history, and in the
ambiguity and flexiblity of "femininity" in the context of dramatic
social change.
