Features girls, young women, and adult women involved in various ways in battles, wars, and war-time activities. This work examines their roles as nurses, doctors, spies, soldiers, correspondents, photographers, as well as their roles on the home front.
Women have always been involved in war; a fact that has generally been acknowledged, but not always documented. The importance of the availability of good print, nonprint, and Internet resources for the study of women''s involvement in war is especially important given the limited coverage of the subject in textbooks. Women Engaged in War covers the war efforts of females of all ages actively involved in various battles, wars, and war-time activities. Coverage ranges from Sybil Ludington''s ride on horseback to rouse American soldiers to fight against the British to women''s roles as nurses, doctors, spies, soldiers, correspondents, and photographers to women''s roles on the home front. The scope of the book is multinational and multicultural and spans from the earliest historical records of women warriors to the present. Fiction, picture books, nonfiction, biographies, autobiographies, collective biographies, oral narratives, reference books, journal and periodical articles, and nonprint and electronic resources are included in this annotated guide. This helpful reference concludes with professional resources for educators; primary resources; an international directory of memorials, monuments, and museums; classroom activities, lessons, and booktalks; and recommendations for building a core collection.
