World War Women

Canadian War Museum The contributions made by women to the Canadian war efforts during the First and Second World Wars were crucial, and their experiences forged a new understanding of women’s capabilities both within themselves and within society. Through artifacts, images, audiovisual material, oral history and text, World War Women delves into the personal stories of the women associated with these materials. It is organized in stand-alone thematic zones, each devoted to an element of the wars that particularly involved and affected women.
