Dr. Margaret
D. Stetz, who is the Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women’s Studies and
Professor of Humanities at the University of Delaware, has been very supportive
of my project. Dr. Stetz has
suggested a list of books that will help girls in particular to understand more
about the First World War and she has given me permission to post this list.
I don’t know
about you, but I feel if a book is well written it deserves to be read, regardless of the target audience. I read
with great pleasure several books about the Second World War when my sons were
at school, so I look forward to reading some of these:

Remembrance (2002)

the Anzac Boys (2008)
