| Summary | "The Sword of Deborah" by F. Tennyson Jesse is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This insightful work offers first-hand impressions of the British Women's Army during World War I, focusing on the contributions and experiences of women serving in various capacities within the war effort. Through a personal narrative, the author highlights the roles and challenges faced by these women, emphasizing their significance in a predominantly male-dominated environment. At the start of the book, the author reflects on her initial misconceptions and ignorance regarding the British Expeditionary Force and the contributions of women in the war. She expresses her initial reluctance to undertake this (presumably government-requested) mission, fearing boredom and having little interest in the women's roles at the front lines. However, her firsthand experience gradually dispels her doubts as she discovers the incredible resilience and dedication of female ambulance drivers and nurses, who operate under immense pressure and danger. Jesse's observations provide a poignant look at the daily realities and the often-overlooked significance of the women's contributions during the war, while also revealing her evolving understanding of their critical roles.
