- Description
- War Girls reveals the story of the British women who volunteered for service in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry during the first world war. Examining their experiences on the Western Front with the Belgian, British and French Armies, this book shows how the FANY worked as nurses and ambulance driver-mechanics, and how their work inspired stories of female heroism and solidarity. The author shares the stories of the FANY--a fascinating, quirky and audacious group of women--and illustrates the ways the Great War subverted existing gender arrangements.
