The publisher produces a number of fine series that provide valuable insights into history. The sad part of reviewing books is that time restricts the number of books that can be read and reviewed. As a result, the FIRE Project review team has not been able to review all of the titles in the local histories of WWI, taking only snapshots of the series. This new title is a delight and representative of the high standard achieved by the series. The text is built on thorough research and is very ably supported by a host of illustration – Very Highly Recommended.

This was an eye opening read! What a different world so many of these women lived in with either what they went through or what they got away with! Short paragraphs giving a glimpse into the lives of a wide variety of women. Not too in depth but a great collection. It peaked my interest to look up several of these ladies online to learn more.
