| Summary | "Women of the War" by Barbara McLaren is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work highlights the remarkable contributions of women during World War I, focusing specifically on various roles they undertook to support the war effort. The narratives within the book provide a unique perspective on the impact of women in contexts typically dominated by men, illustrating their determination and versatility. The opening of the text establishes its context by featuring the introduction by H. H. Asquith, which emphasizes the unprecedented roles that women embraced during the war and their substantial contributions to medical, agricultural, and industrial fields. It sets the stage for the subsequent chapters that promise to share individual stories of women like Dr. Garrett Anderson, Dr. Flora Murray, and Lady Paget, who actively participated in various capacities ranging from managing military hospitals to undertaking dangerous fieldwork. These accounts aim not just to honor individual achievements but also to inspire and leave a lasting impression of the significant, if often overlooked, roles women played in wartime society.
