Shadow-Shapes: The Journal of a Wounded Woman - 9798888977231 - 9798888977231

Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant’s autobiographical memoir, Shadow-Shapes: The Journal of a Wounded Woman, recounts her experiences as a journalist in France during World War I. The book provides a rare first-hand account of the war from a female perspective, detailing the author's own injuries from a landmine explosion and her reflections from a series of French military hospitals. Sergeant examines the gendered societal positions of the era, noting how she views her own participation in the war as less significant than a man's, despite her personal suffering. Her prose is at once painful and keenly observant, capturing her "pin-point of sharp experience" within the "vast catastrophe" of the conflict, a contrast that highlights the intimate and personal trauma of war against its massive, impersonal scale.
