In the 20th Century War enveloped the globe on two occasions. Myriad other wars erupted, spent themselves in fury or rumbled on, decaying into untold misery and pain.

Whilst The War Poets were heralded, the women poets were not much spoken of. True, their role was not on the front lines directly, in the heat and line of battle, but they were there, just behind, witnessing the wholesale slaughter of a generation in the ‘War to end all wars’.

In this volume we hear just how their verse is equally as telling, as emotional and as insightful and now, hopefully, as respected.
