War Girls: the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry in the First World War
Janet Lee
War Girls reveals the fascinating story of the British women who volunteered for service in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY)during the Great War. Examining their experiences on the Western Front with the Belgian, British, and French Armies, this book shows how the FANY worked as nurses and ambulance driver-mechanics, inspiring stories of female heroism and solidarity. The FANY created skilled gendered performances against the cultural myths of the time, and in concert with their emerging legend. Coming from privileged backgrounds, they drew upon and subverted traditional arrangements, crafting new and unconventional identities for themselves. The author shares the stories of the FANY - a fascinating, quirky and audacious group of women - and illustrates the ways the Great War subverted existing gender arrangements. It will make fascinating reading for those working in the field of gender and war, as well as those who wish to find out more about this remarkable group of women.
