Sayers, Stevie Smith, Virginia Woolf, Naomi Mitchison and Elizabeth Bowen during the 1930s and 1940s, the book considers the different and sometimes contradictory ways in which British women writers responded both to the threat of war and to actual conflict in this period. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLiterature and the war 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLiterature and the war. 676 $a813.54 700 $aPlain$b Gill$0164568 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827053403321 996 $aWomen's fiction of the second world war$9484544 997 $aUNINA
