No Man's Land: The Trailblazing Women Who Ran Britain's Most Extraordinary Military Hospital During World War I

This is the story of the role of British women physicians who offered their services to the British government for the treatment of the wounded soldiers being sent back from the Western Front during the First World War. The author describes the women`s suffrage movement prior to the First World War and how some women, deeply immersed in the fight for women`s suffrage quickly shifted to providing treatment to wounded soldiers. The book highlights that the senior medical officer was vocal in his praise of the women`s medical efforts and did all in his power to ensure the role of women physicians operating entire hospitals, was successful. The book is well written and a very useful addition to First World War history.

A well informed and researched book which proved very interesting of WW1.It is is not a book to read quickly, full of info it is something that takes a week or two to read.

This is a great story of a time long ago yet was pivotal in the story of women in medicine. Fantastic read.

This is exactly the same book as one I already have but different title - Endell Street - by the same author

The first 1/3 or so reads very repetitive, and I haven’t read the word “imperious” so many times before. But the latter part of the narrative picks up, and a wider number of historical figures enter the scene. The story is backed by historical data and the author clearly illustrates what daily life in a WWI clinic looked like.
