The horror of the male experience during World War One was well documented in poetry, memoir, and fiction throughout the 20th century. Womens 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.
