'Drawing on a rich body of archival sources, this pioneering exploration of women's lived experiences provides a sophisticated assessment of the complex impact of the Great War on the status of women within Irish society and politics. It represents a major contribution to the historiography of early twentieth-century Ireland.' Fearghal McGarry, Queen's University Belfast 'This is an illuminating and meticulously researched study in which Walsh brings to life the experiences of Irish women during the First World War. Exploring commonalities and differences in those experiences and in the many forces that shaped them, Walsh makes a compelling case for the full integration of these hidden histories into existing narratives.' Senia Paseta, University of Oxford 'Walsh's book is the first comprehensive study of Irish women in this conflict. It is meticulously and extensively researched, thoughtful in its analysis, engages with the scholarly literature, and makes a major contribution to early twentieth century Irish history.' Maria Luddy, Family and Community History

Maria Luddy, Family and Community History 'The accessible writing style and thematic structure mean this book could be enjoyed by the interested reader as well as the academic, but the strong primary source element of the book makes it ideal to use as an academic teaching resource.' Jennifer Redmond, First World War Studies 'This is a major step forward in Irish women's history and the history of the Great War in Ireland. In its detail, its scope, its adeptness in handling diverse sources, it is a welcome and major contribution.' Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid, Irish Historical Studies
