War girls shares the stories of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY), a group of audacious middle- and upper-class British women volunteers who nursed and worked as driver-mechanics during the First World War. It explores the ways the women subverted traditional mythologies about gender and imagined new cultural possibilities
