Women and Volunteering in Wartime
New!
From: Material Traces of War
$5.40
In both world wars, volunteering was arguably the most socially acceptable manner for women to support the war effort. This chapter includes a number of stories of individuals whose contributions fall within this maternal sphere. Volunteering was a mindset, and Canadian women took it up with no small amount of enthusiasm in both the First and Second World Wars. Without their support, time, and energy, the outcome of the wars would have been very different.
