Excerpt from British Women in Serbia and the War It may not seem modest for-me, an unknown Serb, to come before the British and tell them what I think now and what I thought before of Women's Suffrage and of British women. But, in the first place, 1 am speaking impersonally, a representative of many whose convictions have been modified With regard to this question. Public statements of the same kind are becoming every day more frequent in this country. And I have also a special reason for my confession. I have been placed in circumstances which have given me the opportunity of following closely the work of British women in one of the most exposed areas which the War has seen, that is, in Serbia, at times and in places where courage, presence of mind, and resourcefulness were necessary to face the difficulties in which, as the Serbian proverb ksays, heroes prove themselves.

Excerpt from War and Women From Experience in the Balkans and Elsewhere In Russia and in Japan the Red Cross Society is admirably organized, and its work is far reaching in peace and war. In Great Britain there is no one body or one authority that corresponds to the Red Cross Society in those countries. Here there are, as usual, cross-currents in peace and sure confusion in war. The respective spheres of the British Red Cross Society, the Order of St. John, and the are quite undefined, and urgently require definition.

Excerpt from The War and the Women Electricians divide bodies by the resistance they offer to the passage of electric force as calculated in ohms. Humanity may be divided into classes by the resistance they offer to new ideas. The Americans, for example, have a small ohmage, the English a high. Judged by the evolution of their women, old countries like Sweden and Finland are less resistant than even the New World. In Eng land woman has not moved a step in any direction without a hue and cry. Tragical is the story of the first medical pioneers, and equality with the man physician is even yet not won, though every new female doctor is now hailed as a godsend by the male millions engaged night and day in making work for her. The lost volts is the pathetic name for the units of electricity wasted through resistance. What a ghastly waste of human force this British bulldoggedness is answerable for!

There are few moments in history when the division between the sexes seems as "natural" as during wartime: men go off to the "war front," while women stay behind on the "home front." But the very notion of the home front was an invention of the First World War, when, for the first time, "home" and "domestic" became adjectives that modified the military term "front." Such an innovation acknowledged the significant and presumably new contributions of civilians, especially women, to the war effort. Yet, as Susan Grayzel argues, throughout the war, traditional notions of masculinity and femininity survived, primarily through the maintenance of--and indeed reemphasis on--soldiering and mothering as the core of gender and national identities. Drawing on sources that range from popular fiction and war memorials to newspapers and legislative debates, Grayzel analyzes the effects of World War I on ideas about civic participation, national service, morality, sexuality, and identity in wartime Britain and France. Despite the appearance of enormous challenges to gender roles due to the upheavals of war, the forces of stability prevailed, she says, demonstrating the Western European gender system's remarkable resilience.
