In Modernist Women Writers and War, Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick examines important avant-garde writings by three American women authors---Djuna Barnes, H.D., and Gertrude Stein--- and shows that during World Wars I and II a new kind of war literature emerged, one in which feminist investigation of war and trauma effectively counters the paradigmatic war experience long narrated by men.
