Material Traces of War: Stories of Canadian Women and Conflict,
1914-1945 looks at Canadian women's experiences of, and
contributions to, the world wars through objects, images, and
archival documents. The book tells the stories of women who served
in the military, volunteered their time, worked as civilians, and
grieved lost loved ones, through thematically organized vignettes.
The authors place these personal narratives of individual women,
and their related material, in the wider context of the world wars,
while demonstrating that the experience of living through global
conflict was as individual as a woman's particular circumstances.
Drawing from the collections of the Canadian War Museum, the
Canadian Museum of History, and other public and private
collections in Canada, Material Traces of War brings largely
unknown material to public view and draws attention to the untold
stories of women and war.

Barriers, Shaping Worlds gathers scholars to explore the role of
women in twentieth-century Canadian international affairs. They

for change as anti-war, anti-nuclear, or Indigenous rights
activists; and women working as diplomatic spouses or as diplomats
themselves. This lively, wide-ranging collection reveals the vital
contribution of women to the search for global order that has been
a hallmark of Canada's international history.
