Vestiges de guerre presents the stories of women and war. The authors place these personal narratives of individual women, and their related material, in the wider context of the world wars, drawing from the collections of the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, and other public and private collections in Canada. They demonstrate that the experience of living through global conflict was as individual as a woman’s particular circumstances.
