Gilmore, Rose Long. Davidson County Women in the World War, 1914-1919. Nashville: Advisory Council; Foster & Parkes, 1923.

Large, glossy, expensively produced book. Many individual photographs of women mentioned, as well as many group photographs. Some pages, under running headers of the title of the book, list in no evident order "each fallen hero of Davidson County in the World War" (14). Organized by groups women were members of, such as "War Work Council, Southern Presbyterian Church" and "Department of Woman's Work, Nashville Chapter, A.R.C." Lists thousands upon thousands of women. Many black and white photographs of groups and individuals and some three-color or red-and-grey-scale illustrations such as banners and posters. "Miss Ellen Stokes as she appeared as 'Joan of Arc,' n the French Independence Day Parade, in Nashville, July 14, 1918," reads the caption on the full-page profile portrait of an armored mailden on horseback (441). "World War Work of Colored Women of Davidson County," with group portrait and a single portrait, fills two and a half pages at the very end; it also features a group portrait captioned "Charter Members of Fisk University Auxiliary, Nashville Chapter, A. R. C." with list of names of those seated and knitting (507-9). Index.
