About
More than two thousand Canadian women served as army nurses overseas during the First World War. The opportunity to read a diary written by one of these women-a document, which was strictly speaking, not supposed to be kept, in the first place- is a unique privilege.
A Canadian Nurse in the Great War grants a peek, through the diary of Ruth Loggie, into a little-known moment of our history. It also offers a glimpse into forbidden territory-women at war. Loggie's diary provides a daily commentary on life as she experienced it and as the events of the Great War unfolded. How did she cope? What were her thoughts as she lived through what she knew were world-altering events?
