CWM Book Club – Suzanne Evans and Mothers of Heroes, Mothers of Martyrs: World War I and the Politics of Grief

Maternal love is considered the most unconditional form of love, yet mothers have been prepared to sacrifice their children, or to see them sacrificed, for a “noble” cause. Mothers of Heroes, Mothers of Martyrs shows that, across cultures and historical eras, in times of great stress societies will channel all their resources, even maternal love and grief, toward a common cause.

Suzanne Evans is a writer in Ottawa. She holds a PhD in religious studies from the University of Ottawa.
