"This is the story of how women in France and Britain between 1915 and 1933 appropriated
the cultural identity of female war veteran in order to have greater access to public
life and a voice in a political climate in which women were rarely heard on the public
stage. The 'veterans' covered by this history include former nurses, charity workers,
secret service agents and members of resistance networks in occupied territory, as
well as members of the British auxiliary corps. What unites these women is how they
attempted to present themselves as 'female veterans' in order to gain social advantages
and give themselves the right to speak about the war and its legacies. Alison S. Fell
also considers the limits of the identity of war veteran for women, considering as
an example the wartime and post-war experiences of the female industrial workers who
led episodes of industrial action." -- Publisher's description
