omen Heroes of World War I
brings to life the brave exploits of 16
women from around the world who served their countries at a time
when most women didn’t even have the right to vote.
Seventeen-year-old Frenchwoman Emilienne Moreau assisted the Allies
as a guide and set up a first-aid post in her home. Russian peasant Maria
Bochkareva joined the Imperial Russian Army, was twice wounded in battle
and decorated for bravery, and created and led the all-women combat unit
the Women’s Battalion of Death. American journalist Madeleine Zabriskie
Doty risked her life to travel twice to Germany during the war. Resented,
watched, and pursued by spies, she was determined to report back the truth.
These and other suspense-filled stories of daring girls and women from
around the world are told through fast-paced narrative, dialogue, direct
quotes, and document and diary excerpts. Historical background
information opens each section, and each profile includes informative
sidebars and “Learn More” lists of books and websites for further study,
making this a fabulous resource for young history buffs or anyone who likes
tales of bravery and courage.
