Here is twentiethcentury woman in closeup, coping with the tragedies and upheavals of womens lives from the First World War to Greenham Common and beyond.This is the edited diary of an individual woman, born in 1901, and a story of the twentieth century.

From bohemian London to Rome in the 1920s, through social work and the buildup to another war, in which she drives ambulances through the bombed streets of London, this is a story both fictional and true. Full of the texture of life, beautifully observed and evocative, it tells the story of an ordinary womans life against the huge canvas of the last century.WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHORThis series of war novels from Vintage Classics presents eight powerful stories about the horror and waste of war each a passionate plea to prevent its repetition.
