Infos

Shadow-Shapes: The Journal of a Wounded Woman provides a rare first-hand account of World War I from a female perspective, detailing the author's own injuries from a landmine explosion and her reflections from a series of French military hospitals.In this autobiographical memoir, Sergeant examines the gendered societal positions of the era, noting how she views her own participation in the war as less significant than a man's, despite her personal suffering. Her prose is at once painful and keenly observant, capturing her pin-point of sharp experience within the vast catastrophe of the conflict, a contrast that highlights the intimate and personal trauma of war against its massive, impersonal scale.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
