Women Heroes of World War I: 16 Remarkable Resisters, Soldiers, Spies, and Medics - Kathryn J. Atwood

This book is a collection of stories about some truly remarkable women who performed a variety of roles during the First World War - from nurses to spies/leaders of resistance networks behind enemy lines, doctors and surgeons, journalists, to soldiers on the battlefield (e.g., the Russian Army had within its ranks a Women's Battalion of Death during 1917 which saw considerable combat. One of its leaders, Maria Bockareva, had, after placing a request with the Tsar to serve in the Army shortly after the outbreak of war in August 1914, received official permission to serve in combat with a frontline unit, where she distinguished herself in battle).
