| Summary | "Women of Belgium: Turning Tragedy to Triumph" by Charlotte Kellogg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book highlights the extraordinary efforts of Belgian women during World War I, focusing on their resilience and commitment as they work to mitigate the suffering caused by the war. It portrays a narrative of strength and community, emphasizing the critical roles that women played in the relief efforts for their families and fellow countrymen. The opening of the work sets a somber yet inspiring tone, underlining the dire circumstances in Belgium after the outbreak of war. It begins with an introduction by Herbert C. Hoover, who illustrates the devastation faced by the Belgian populace, including widespread hunger and despair among women and children. The text delves into the efforts of Queen Elizabeth and women like Marie de Page, who left their homes to assist with nursing and relief efforts. These early passages reveal a deep sense of tragedy caused by the war but highlight the unyielding spirit of compassion and strength that these women embody as they seek to nourish and support their communities.
