This book explores the experiences of a range of women from the early
days of 1914, through the big events of the war on the Eastern Front.
Their diaries, letters, memoirs and journalism are used to investigate
the extraordinary role played by British women during the fall of
Serbia, the Russian Revolution and the final push, and their role in
reconstruction following the Armistice. These women, and their writings,
are examined through the multiple lenses of gender, nationality,
patriotism, imperialism and legacy, but the book also tells the stories
of individuals, and will appeal across audiences to students,
researchers and general readers. This is the first book to examine the
war in the East through the eyes of British women and as such makes an
important contribution to First World War Studies.
