The horror of the male experience during World War One was well documented in poetry, memoir, and fiction throughout the 20th century. Women's voices of despair, endurance and anger, however, have often been forgotten. These poems of political fury, widowed brides, industry undertaken, and sons and friends loved and lost, give a heartbreaking insight into the experience of women throughout World War One.The full list of poems included in this collection are:Joining the Colours, by Katharine TynanWar Girls, by Jessie PopeAugust 1914, by May Wedderburn CannanRouen, by May Wedderburn CannanDedication 8 March, by May SinclairBelgium, by Edith WhartonLament, by Katharine TynanSpring in War-Time, by Sara TeasdaleThe Falling Leaves, by Margaret Postgate Cole'I know the truth!
