"War is not women's history." - Virginia Woolf

"The air is full of farewells to the dying, and mournings for the dead, the heart of Rachel for her children crying will not be comforted." - Longfellow

"Who can sum up all the ills the women of a nation suffer from war? They have all of the misery and none of the glory; nothing to mitigate their weary waiting and watching for the loved ones who return no more." - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

"When you lift up your eyes and cannot behold his face, when your heart is far from him, know this is your War...though he comes no more at night he will kneel at your side for comfort to dream with you."- May Weddderburn Cannan
