- The book is substantial in size (100,000 words) and interdisciplinary in scope blending perspectives drawn from History, Nursing and Literary Studies. It is the first monograph to focus exclusively on the writings of First World War nurses. Nurse Writers is international in scope and its primary sources are extensive and complex. It challenges existing perspectives around women’s war service, bringing new understandings to the subject by identifying previously unrecognised elements of nurses’ views of their war service. Among its novel findings are those relating to the importance of witnessing, professionalism, and internationalism in the roles and identities of nurse memoirists.
