Recenzje

"In conclusion, Jennifer Redmond and Elaine Farrell’s Irish Women in the First World War Era offers a comprehensive and extremely thorough examination of Irish women’s lives during the 1914–1918 era. The collection successfully brings women back from the margins of History and replaces Ireland in a world-context. Irish Women in the First World War Era was very much needed and represents a stepping stone for further research on the topic"
