    'They also serve who only stand and wait'
    The idea of there being a 'women's writing' during the First World War is often dismissed. The war, the story goes, was a masculine domain, and as women did not fight, it is also assumed that they were excluded from a war experience.
    This bibliography challenges that view by listing and annotating hundreds of published books, articles, memoirs, diaries and letters written by women during the First World War. Included are:
    * Virginia Woolf
    * Katherine Mansfield
    * G.B Stern
    * Brenda Girvin
    * known and unknown autobiographers and diarists
    * writers of pro and anti-war propaganda
    * journal and magazine articles
    * literary, cultural and historical criticism
