Material Traces of War
Stories of Canadian Women and Conflict, 1914-1945
Material Traces of War: Stories of Canadian Women and Conflict, 1914–1945, looks at how Canadian women experienced the world wars through objects, images, and archival documents. The book puts individual women and their related material culture at its heart. Thematically organized vignettes tell stories of women who served in the military, volunteered their time, worked as civilians, and grieved lost loved ones. The authors place these personal narratives in the larger context of the world wars, while demonstrating that the experience of living through global conflict was as individual as a woman’s particular circumstances. Drawing from the collections of the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, and other public and private collections in Canada, Material Traces of War brings lesser-known stories into view.
