First World War Nursing

<p>This book employs an interdisciplinary collaborative approach that takes into account multiple facets of Allied wartime nursing: historical contexts (history of the profession recruitment teaching different national socio-political contexts) popular cultural stereotypes (in propaganda popular culture) and longstanding gender norms (woman-as-nurturer). Contributors draw on a wide range of hitherto neglected historical sources including diaries novels letters and material culture. The result is a fully-rounded new study of nurses' unique and compelling perspectives on the unprecedented experiences of the First World War. </p>
