Beskrivning

Material Traces of War: Stories of Canadian Women and Conflict, 1914–1945 looks at Canadian women’s experiences of, and contributions to, the world wars through objects, images, and archival documents.The book tells the stories of women who served in the military, volunteered their time, worked as civilians, and grieved lost loved ones, through thematically organized vignettes. The authors place these personal narratives of individual women, and their related material, in the wider 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 largely unknown material to public view and draws attention to the untold stories of women and war.Co-published by the Canadian Museum of History and the University of Ottawa Press.

Recensioner i media

“Material Traces of War: Stories of Canadian Women and Conflict, 1914–1945 promises to help provide a better understanding of what a war effort is all about when an entire society is engaged, as was the case first in 1914–1918 and again for the Second World War, from 1939–1945. This book originated as an exhibition at the Canadian War Museum in 2015–2016. It is the result of a fruitful collaboration between three dedicated authors who bring a wealth of museum experience to the subject. It is really gratifying to see their research come to fruition.”—John Willis, retired from the Canadian Museum of History in 2019, where he served as editor of the Mercury Series.
