Examining their experiences on the Western Front with the Belgian, British and French armies, this book shows how the FANY worked as nurses and ambulance driver-mechanics, inspiring stories of female heroism and solidarity. The FANY created skilled gendered performances against the cultural myths of the time, and in concert with their emerging legend. Coming from privileged backgrounds, they drew upon and subverted traditional arrangements, crafting new and unconventional identities for themselves.The author shares the stories of the FANY - a fascinating, quirky and audacious group of women - and illustrates the ways the Great War subverted existing gender arrangements. It will make fascinating reading for those working in the field of gender and war, as well as those who wish to find out more about this remarkable group of women. 606 $aWorld War I 606 $aVolunteers$xhistory 606 $aMilitary Nursing$xhistory 606 $aHistory, 20th Century 606 $aHistory of Nursing 606 $aNurses 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, British 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xParticipation, Female 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMedical care$zEurope, Western 607 $aUnited Kingdom 608 $aPersonal Narrative. 610 $aFirst Aid Nursing Yeomanry. 610 $acomradeship. 610 $acoping behaviours. 610 $acultural mythologies. 610 $afemale autonomy. 610 $afemale independence. 610 $agenteel femininity. 610 $amasculine authority. 610 $amilitary heroism. 610 $amilitary organizations. 610 $atotal war. 610 $atransgression. 610 $awartime service. 615 22$aWorld War I. 615 22$aVolunteers$xhistory. 615 22$aMilitary Nursing$xhistory. 615 22$aHistory, 20th Century. 615 22$aHistory of Nursing. 615 12$aNurses. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xParticipation, Female. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMedical care 676 $a940.475082 700 $aLee$b Janet$f1954-$01188554 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814742603321 996 $aWar girls$93981614 997 $aUNINA
