The Second Battlefield:

Women, Modernism and the First World War
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Manchester University Press, 2000 - History - 214 pages
This book investigates the connection between women's writing about WWI and the development of literary modernisms, focusing on issues of gender which remain topical today. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished diaries and letters, the book examines the way in which the new roles undertaken by women triggered a search for new forms of expression. Blending literary criticism and history, the book contributes to the scholarship of women and expands our definition of modernisms.
