Women, men and the Great War: An anthology of story

by Trudi Tate (Editor)

"A wide ranging, challenging and constantly surprising collection ... focusing on the divisions the war created between men and women."
Pat Barker

This is an anthology of short stories of World War I from 25 classic writers.

Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield are among the women writers whose works account for half the volume. The stories are by turn poignant, violent, harsh, tender and desolating.

[Shaun Rylands · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finished reading this anthology: Women, Men And The Great War. What an absolutely excellent collection of stories dealing with the psychology of World War 1. "No one really believes in the war or cares who won it...these weapons of destruction are the only beautiful things in this modern world".

I liked a few of these very much, but others were just such heavy going that I kept getting bored and leaving it aside and then having to get it from the library again, so that eventually I decided enough was enough. I am not a very good reader of short stories at the best of times. [May 2019]
