BOOK I
FRENCHWOMEN IN WAR TIME
IF this little book reads more like a memoir than a
systematic study of conditions, my excuse is that I
remained too long in France and was too much with
the people whose work most interested me, to be capa-
ble, for a long while, at any rate, of writing a de-
tached statistical account of their remarkable work.
In the first place, although it was my friend Owen
Johnson who suggested this visit to France and per-
sonal investigation of the work of her women, I went
with a certain enthusiasm, and the longer I remained
the more enthusiastic I became. My idea in going
was not to gratify my curiosity but to do what I could
for the cause of France as well as for my own coun-
try by studying specifically the war-time work of its
women and to make them better known to the women
of America.
The average American woman who never has trav-
eled in Europe, or only as a flitting tourist, is firm in
the belief that all Frenchwomen are permanently occu-
pied with fashions or intrigue. If it is impossible to
eradicate this impression, at least the new impression
I hope to create by a recital at first hand of what a
number of Frenchwomen (who are merely carefully
selected types) are doing for their country in its pres-
ent ordeal, should be all the deeper.
