Synopsis

Seven Newport women died in the Great War. Only four of them are commemorated on the Newport Roll of Honour. This book rights that omission and also pays tribute to the work of other Newport women who survived the war, yet played a tremendous part in the amazing changes for women in the world created by the war to end all wars. Suffragettes, munitionettes, philanthropists, all played their role alongside those who died, nursing the sick and injured at home and abroad.Without the contribution made by women such as these, Britain would not have emerged victorious. They had helped win the war and, by doing so, proved that women had the right to a political role while remaining mothers and wives.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Sylvia was educated at Lady Margaret High School, Cardiff, The Western Theological College, Bristol and Bristol University where she gained a BA and a PGCE. While her son and daughter were young, she gained a Masters degree with the Open University, her specialism being Victorian poetry. Her career was spent as a teacher of English in secondary schools in Bristol, Newport and the Valleys. Since retirement, having more time has meant being able to develop her interests in music, art history, literature, travel and embroidery. She particularly values the time she spends with her three lively granddaughters.
