Shirley Millard is author of her memoirs on life as a World War I volunteer nurse in France -- as presented, introduced, and explained in a modern expanded academic edition by Dr. Elizabeth Townsend Gard, a law professor at Tulane who earned her PhD in History from UCLA with her research on lives and memoirs of women in World War I.
An unprepared nurse from the U.S. volunteering in World War I France shares her diary and reflections of the horrific, poignant events of 1918. And in the process reveals more about the fascinating people and times, and especially herself, than she apparently realized writing it. Presented to modern readers--expanded and introduced with a new Foreword--by Prof. Elizabeth Townsend Gard of Tulane.
