Women and War: Stories from the Amazons to the Greatest Generation Through Art and Artifacts

This volume explores how art and artifacts can tell women’s stories of war, a critical way into these stories, often hidden due to the second-tier status of reporting women’s accomplishments. This unique lens reveals personal, cultural, and historically noteworthy experiences often not found in records, manuscripts, and texts.
