Analyzes gendered responses to the war, beginning not with an assumption that women are essentially passivist, but from the complex and contradictory frameworks within which their wartime identities and roles are constructed. Among the authors sampled are Dorothy Sayers, Stevie Smith, Virginia Woolf, and Naomi Mathison. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
