This collection of articles is an ambitious effort to consider the engagement of women in war in the twentieth century around the world. The fifteen contributions are grouped into three chronological categories: 1914 to 1939, 1939 to 1945, and 1946 to the present. Eight of the pieces deal with Europe and the United States; the remainder consider topics that range geographically from China and Japan to Central and South America and the Middle East. Much of this work is very interesting, but as is so often the case in collections, strong parts do not necessarily make for a strong whole. |
