About this book

This book is an autobiographical work by Vera Brittain, a British nurse and activist. Published in 1933, it provides a detailed account of Brittain’s life from 1900 to 1925, focusing on her experiences during World War I and its aftermath. The book is renowned for its portrayal of the war’s impact on women and the UK’s middle-class civilian population. Brittain’s story begins with her ambition to attend Somerville College, Oxford, and her relationship with Roland Leighton, a friend of her brother Edward. Both men were early commissioned officers in the war and were killed in action. The memoir primarily discusses Brittain’s role as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse, where she cared for injured soldiers in London, Malta, and Etaples in France. It also covers her return to Somerville College after the war and the start of her journalism career.
