Every Woman Remembered: Daughters of Newport in the Great War

Seven Newport women died in the Great War. Only four of them are commemorated on the Newport Roll of Honour. This book rights that omission and also pays tribute to the work of other Newport women who survived the war, yet played a tremendous part in the amazing changes for women in the world created by the war to end all wars. Suffragettes, munitionettes, philanthropists, all played their role alongside those who died, nursing the sick and injured at home and abroad.

Without the contribution made by women such as these, Britain would not have emerged victorious. They had helped win the war and, by doing so, proved that women had the right to a political role while remaining mothers and wives.
