Women Aspired: A History Written in Blood on the Horizon of the Great World War is a fascinating book by Mabel Potter Daggett. In this work, she talks about the extremely important, but often underestimated role of women during the First World War. Through the prism of the lives of various women - military nurses, ambulatory secretaries, military units and activists of peace movements - the author recreates their difficult trials, fears and victories in times of war. This book not only tells the story, but also gives the reader the opportunity to hear the voices of real heroines who changed the course of world events, starting a new understanding of the role of women in society and war."
