Creative responses. 330 $aAs the body of First World War literature continues to grow, women's experiences of this period remain largely obscure, particularly those of Canadian and Newfoundland women. A Sisterhood of Suffering and Service explores this obscurity and begins to redress it. This innovative collection discusses women's activities in the workforce, overseas, within the domestic realm, and in literary representations to show that women were not bystanders who were quietly knitting for the duration; rather, they actively participated in wartime society, served their country in a variety of ways, made sacrifices, and were deeply affected by the vagaries of war. Incorporating the experiences of Newfoundland with those of Canada, and looking at girls as well as women, the volume enriches our knowledge of an important era in Canadian nation building and takes a step towards writing women into the historical narratives of the First World War. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xWomen$zCanada 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xChildren$zCanada 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xWomen$zNewfoundland and Labrador 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xChildren$zNewfoundland and Labrador 607 $aCanada$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aNewfoundland and Labrador$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xWomen 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xChildren 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xWomen 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xChildren 676 $a940.308 701 $aGlassford$b Sarah$01574772 701 $aShaw$b Amy$01514751 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779186203321 996 $aA sisterhood of suffering and service$93851209 997 $aUNINA
