Hearts Undefeated by Jenny Hartley

Featuring well over 100 women, from well-known writers such as Elizabeth Bowen, Rosamond Lehmann, Freya Stark, Virginia Woolf and Beatrice Webb, to canteen workers and clippies who had never picked up a pen before, this collection unites their work for the first time. Ranging from lighter accounts of austerity - the struggle for an onion, endless queues and shorter hemlines - to a chilling description of the 1938 Nuremberg Rally and Martha Gellhorn's report of Dachau in 1945, this is a portrait of the war years, as seen through women's eyes.
