Overview
In this moving and readable anthology, acclaimed writer Eva Figes has collected a wonderfully diverse range of women’s letters penned over the last 500 years, during times of war. Their words reveal a warmth, strength, and combative spirit that reminds us how vital a role they have played in war. By “holding the fort” at home, or by engaging in the active service with the ATS and dreading the return to the humdrum routine peace would bring, these letters dispel the myth that the “gentler sex” has spent her wars anxiously idling away the hours until the menfolk return.Book Details
