'As we begin the crucial conversations on the legacy of the First World War for women a century later, Women as Veterans in Britain and France after the First World War will help lead the way. Alison S. Fell's smart and sophisticated analysis shows how and why some women's war stories could come to represent all women. Her skilful excavation of British and French women's wartime service and sacrifice and postwar self-presentations proves thoroughly captivating from start to finish.' Susan R. Grayzel, Utah State University

'Fell retrieves activists who worked between the world wars to celebrate the forgotten 'sisters', nurses and other women whose service and sacrifices placed them next to their fallen 'brothers' in England and France. She draws out many-layered meanings of interwar commemorations and distinguishes the more traditional French gender models from English activism. Her work will speak to both historians and students of war literature.' Margaret R. Higonnet, University of Connecticut

'… this is a comprehensive and well-crafted book, which drives the field forward and contributes to still-emerging debates about hierarchies of remembrance and the gendered memory of wartime sacrifice in Britain and France.' Philippa Read, French Studies
