Rezensionen

"A fascinating study of the memorialisation of nurse Edith Cavell within both Britain and its Empire, this book provides a novel route into exploring memories of the Great War, questions of gender and commemoration and the relationship between metropole and white settler colonies in the interwar period." - Clare Midgley, Sheffield Hallam University, UK and President of the International Federation for Research in Women's History
