[1] From: Maria Elena Raymond <73113.1362@CompuServe.COM> We've mentioned a number of times on this list the dearth of writings by/about women in war. The Minerva list has also expressed dismay about the lack of texts. I would think your book would be highly likely to be used...FWIW. Maria Elena Raymond * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * [2] From: mimorris@ice.net.au (Miranda E Morris) I must recommend for anyone teaching about women and WWII Gaylene Preston's film War Stories. Always moving, often witty, interviews with about eight New Zealand women with vastly different backgrounds and experiences provide insights into the lives of wives of conscientious objectors, of heroes who were killed, of Americans who were shunned; Maori women who cheered black Americans, put pipped officers in their place, mourned whole villages of dead sons; women who didn't want their men to return, women who went to the Front, white women who took tea with the Prime Minister. Two other recommendations -books. Alison Owing Frauen; German Women Recall the Third Reich -Rutgers 1994 Kay Saunders War on the Home Front; state Intervention in Queensland 1938-1948 University of Queensland Press 1993 Miranda Morris mimorris@ice.net.au West Hobart Tasmania
