'This biographical representation is meant as a tribute to the memory of that glorious martyr, Nurse Cavell, who so willingly gave her life for her country and humanity's sake.

'This paper examines the representation of women in Australian cinematic war dramas made between 1914 and 1918, showing how the representations were shaped by political, industrial and ideological influences and identifying the range of representations present in the films. It observes that while there was considerable overlap with other media in the representation of women, there were images ignored by films, while others were unique to the cinema.'
