This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account multiple facets of wartime nursing - historical contexts (history of the profession, recruitment, teaching, different national socio-political contexts); popular cultural stereotypes (particularly in propaganda); and longstanding gender norms (woman-as-nurturer) - to produce a multidimensional analysis of the complex narrative layers, ambiguous status and mixed reception of the autobiographical texts (memoirs, letters, diaries) produced by nurses during and after the war. These insights will be more generally applicable...
