1914: war has broken out across Europe and beyond. Nothing will ever be the same again for those caught up in the conflict. This collection of short stories explores how the First World War changed and shaped the lives of women forever.

A courageous nurse risks her life at the Front Line; a young woman discovers independence and intrigue in wartime London; and in a brand new story a grief-stricken nurse cares for the first Indian soldier to be awarded the Victoria Cross, and they wonder together what it means to be a hero. Through these and other tales, War Girls presents a moving portrait of loss and grief, and of hope overcoming terrible odds.
