"THE NEGLECTED TREASURE": A NEW EBOOK DEDICATED TO THE WOMEN OF THE GREAT WAR

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.
