Intrepid Women

Cantinieres and Vivandieres of the French Army

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cantinieres and vivandieres were women who served as official, uniformed combat auxiliaries of French army units from 1793 to the eve of World War I. Technically non-combatant spouses of active-duty soldiers, they fought and died in every conflict from the wars. This book is a study of a previously ignored aspect of women's and military history.
