Until now reliable information on awards to women has been hard to find due to the scattered nature of the sources, and has been of doubtful validity due to inadequate research and uncritical repetition.In this book, Norman Gooding brings together for the first time all the existing published information, subjects it to critical revision, and adds much new material obtained from an in-depth study of crucial archives.This book looks at the contribution which women made in campaigns where men received an award but they did not and, later, at those campaign medals which actually were issued to women prior to the First World War. It gives some account of the activities which led to their award.This book will be of obvious use to both the medal collector and researcher, but should also be of interest to those wishing to study aspects of women’s acceptance into the military.The book includes: nominal rolls of campaign medals issued, nominal rolls of orders and decorations open to women, details of women who received medals, a record of medals known to have survived.
