1 [Review] Vera Deakin and the Red Cross Nicola Ritchie , 2022 single work review
— Appears in: Lilith , December no. 28 2022; (p. 159 - 161)
— Review of Vera Deakin and the Red Cross Carole Woods , 2020 single work biography 'In Carole Woods’s biography, Vera Deakin and the Red Cross, there is no room for speculation on the internal life and thoughts of its subject, Vera1. This readable and fast-paced biography is a welcome addition to the limited scholarship on Vera and will hopefully lead to a wider interest in her life and legacy that, until now, has mostly been confined to the work of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.2 The work focuses primarily on Vera’s experiences during World War I (WWI) as she established the Australian Red Cross Wounded and Missing Bureau (RCWMB), but glosses over her post-war life and work in World War II (WWII). This book provides an important foundational text for further research, although is stretched a bit far in trying to provide a comprehensive biography of both Vera Deakin and the Red Cross in Australia, as implied by the title.' (Introduction)
