Louise Mack's Book(1)

A Woman's Experience in the Great War

A Woman's Experience in the Great War

 Literature
5.0
August 1914. The German Army invades Belgium: it's the beginning of the First World War. Military operations in the little country involve one hundred thousands Belgian soldiers and seven hundred thousands German ones. Plus a woman. Louise Mack sailed to Belgium to write some articles for the "Daily Mail" from behind the front line, but soon she took part to dramatic events such as the siege of Anvers and the German occupation, that led her to become the first female war-correspondent ever. First published in 1915, "A Woman's Experiences in the Great War" thrilled and touched English readers giving a woman's point of view on one of the big tragedies of the XX century.
