At Friends House I felt a homey atmosphere that was different than the British Library. It felt comforting in the sense that everything seemed easily accessible and less overwhelming. All the documents were prepared by the archivists and laid out in an orderly fashion. I selected a fragile pamphlet titled "Women and War" by Kathleen E. Innes. Bound by string, the nearly-century-old pamphlet required careful handling. Its thin, soft pages emitted the musty scent of an aged book. The pamphlet's content related to our Bloomsbury studies, discussing women's role in the Spanish Civil War and their potential to affect its outcome, despite not being combatants. In the book, Innes examines the effects of war on women, both as combatants and civilians, and how their contributions have frequently been disregarded or underestimated. Innes contends that women have played a crucial part in wartime efforts, even though their contributions have often gone unnoticed. The author explores how women have served as nurses, fighters, spies, and support staff, and how their work has been fundamental to the success of military campaigns. The book covers a broad range of historical eras and conflicts, from ancient times to the present day, using primary sources like letters, diaries, and memoirs to give voice to the women who have experienced these conflicts. Additionally, Innes analyzes how women's war experiences have been depicted in literature, art, and popular culture. "Women in War" provides a thorough and insightful examination of the role of women in warfare over the course of history, emphasizing their important contributions and highlighting the significance of recognizing and valuing their experiences and perspectives. This reminds me of a quote from Three Guineas where Virginia Woolf writes "Then, if women are to take part in citizenship, they must not only be equal to men, but they must be men; and if men care more for war than for peace, they must cease to be men, they must cease to be human beings" (p. 38) In this quote, Virginia Woolf argues that if women are to participate fully in citizenship, they must be considered equal to men in all respects, including their capacity for reason and their ability to participate in decision-making processes related to war and peace. She goes on to suggest that if men continue to prioritize war over peace, then they have lost their humanity and become something less than fully human. Woolf's statement underscores the importance of recognizing women's full humanity and agency in matters of war and peace.
