''They also serve who only stand and wait''

The idea of there being a women's writing during the First World War is often dismissed. The war, the story goes, was a masculine domain, and as women did not fight, it is also assumed that they were excluded from a war experience.

This bibliography challenges that view by listing and annotating hundreds of published books, articles, memoirs, diaries and letters written by women during the First World War. Included are:

• Virginia Woolf
• Katherine Mansfield
• G.B Stern
• Brenda Girvin
• known and unknown autobiographers and diarists
• writers of pro and anti-war propaganda
• journal and magazine articles
• literary, cultural and historical criticism
