The book tells the stories of women who worked as civilians, served in the military, volunteered their time, and grieved lost loved ones, through thematically organized vignettes. The authors place these personal narratives of individual women, and their related material culture, in the wider context of the world wars while demonstrating that the experience of living through global conflict was as individual as a woman's particular circumstances. Drawing from the collections of the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, and other public and private collections in Canada, Material Traces of War brings largely unknown material culture collections to public view and draws attention to the untold stories of women and war."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 21, 2022) Subject World War, 1914-1918 -- Women -- Canada -- Biography World War, 1939-1945 -- Women -- Canada -- Biography Women and war -- Canada -- History -- 20th century Material culture -- Canada -- History -- 20th century HISTORY / Canada / General Material culture Women Women and war Canada Genre/Form Electronic books Biographies History Biographies.
