Women As Veterans in Britain and France after the First World War
Female War Icons: Visual Representations of Women’s Contribution to the First World War in France and Britain in 1914–1918 and 2014–2018
This article compares and contrasts the representation of women’s roles in the First World War in France and Britain during two key moments in which the war’s cultural memory has been constructed: at the end of the war and during its centenary years. In order to do so, it first considers two visual sources dating from 1918: the film “La Femme française pendant la guerre” (The Frenchwoman in Wartime) made by the Section cine ́magraphique de l’arme…

Nurse-Martyr-Heroine: Representations of Edith Cavell in Interwar Britain, France and Belgium
After her 1915 execution in occupied Brussels for her role in organizing an escape network for French and British soldiers, British nurse Edith Cavell became a household name, and her fame as a ‘martyr-heroine’ persisted in the decades following the Armistice. This article compares and contrasts a range of sculptures, monuments and films featuring Edith Cavell that were produced during the interwar years in Britain (and what were then the Dominio…
Representing, Remembering and Rewriting Women's Histories of the First World War
persuasively argued, in the British popular imagination the First World War is associated with mud, barbed wire, the trenches and the Tommy on the Western Front. 1 Perhaps inevitably, therefore, public commemoration of the war has often been dominated by a focus on the men in the armed forces, who risked or lost their lives for causes that at the time may or may not have seemed heroic, noble or simply unavoidable

The Colour of War Memory: Cultural Representations of Tirailleurs Sénégalais
This article examines French and francophone cultural representations of the roles played by tirailleurs sénégalais during the First and Second World Wars. It analyses how such representations (produced by authors from both within and outside this group) can be considered as examples of what Max Silverman has defined as ‘palimpsestic memory’, containing traces of the present and the past. Key myths and stereotypes of French African troops have re…
Introduction: Untold Legacies of the First World War in Britain
The current centenary of the First World War provides an unrivalled opportunity to uncover some of the social legacies of the war. The four articles which make up this special issue each examine a different facet of the war's impact on British society to explore an as yet untold story. The subjects investigated include logistics, the history of science, the social history of medicine and resistance to war. This article introduces the four which f…
Kitty's War: The Remarkable Wartime Experiences of Kit McNaughton
Veteran Identities: One Hundred Years of the First World War
Mass conscription made the figure of the veteran more visible, particularly in Western societies, in the years following the Armistice than ever before. Returning combatants became a recognized social group and, in some nations, a powerful political force. Moreover, representations of the veteran haunted the cultural landscape of the belligerent nations, and he appeared in a number of different guises. The nationalist stereotypes—the Tommy, poilu…
Nursing the Other: The representation of colonial troops in French and British First World War nursing memoirs
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, both French and British commentators began to view white middle-class women as an increasingly important element of the ‘civilising mission’ of the colonial enterprise. In an 1899 address to the Colonial Nursing Association, Sir George Goldie, governor of the Royal Niger Company, spoke for many when he labelled the work of European nurses in British West African colonies as the ‘white woman's …

This comparative, interdisciplinary book explores the responses of the women's movement to World War I in all of the major belligerent nations. The contributors cover key topics including women's rela
Gendering the War Story
Historically there has been resistance to the very idea that gender and war could or should have anything to do with one another. Recent academic interest, however, has focused not simply upon women and war, but more particularly on the ways in which discourses of gender intersect with political debates about and cultural representations of war. From this perspective, gender and war are not seen as incongruous, but as inevitably intertwined. This…
Colette, Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, Marcelle Tinayre: Émancipation et résignation
By Mélanie E. Collado. Paris, L'Harmattan, 2003. 236 pp. Pb €19.80. Mélanie E. Collado's excellent study offers a careful and lucid appraisal of the representation of the dilemmas faced by ‘emancipated’ women in works by three successful early twentieth-century French women writers. While Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, Marcelle Tinayre and Colette publicly rejected the label ‘feminist’, Collado persuasively argues that their writings are deeply concerned…

Life after Léa: War and Trauma in Colette's La Fin de Chéri
This article considers the effects of the First World War on gender relations as they are perceived and represented in Colette's 1926 novel La Fin de Chéri. It discusses two interconnected aspects of the novel's evocation of the upper echelons of post-war French society. First, it focuses on the ways in which the novel intersects with the 1920s debate on gender identity, which conflates with a more generalized sense of cultural despair that was d…
