The
Great War, a tragedy of epic proportions, was the first big global crisis that
radically conditioned and upset secular social structures.
The
ebook intitled "THE NEGLECTED TREASURE - Women's contribution and courage during the Great War" is a condensation of a years-long in-depth research
and wishes to pay tribute to the women involved in an appalling conflict for
all that they were able to bear on the civil and social planes and to give,
once called to collaborate and to stand in for the men.
Many
women, departed their beloved men for the battle front, had to look after the
land farming, on their own or with the help of some relatives, work in
factories, or were asked to gradually hold the men’s vacant posts in the public
sector and in the service industry.
They hardly received any complete
acknowledgement of their contribution and sacrifices as it still happens
nowadays, a century later, for the same absurd reason, to millions of women in
many parts of the world.
This ebook contains furthermore an essential
bibliography, quoting over 130 reference titles, suggested as possible
guideline for all who wish to study in depth this book’s topic.
