This work focuses on the staggering achievements of hundreds of thousands of civilian volunteers and charity workers, the majority of them women, during the Great War, both at home and abroad. It fills a gap in our knowledge and understanding of the conflict and its broader impact. It shows what a mass of untried and frequently untrained women and men from all backgrounds achieved through their energy, innovation, adaptability, creativity, bravery, and dogged commitment.
