Student Life at the University of California, Berkeley During And After World War I: The Letters of Agnes Edwards Partin, 1917-1921

Three hundred letters by Agnes Edwards, a student at UC Berkeley, comprise this volume that covers the years 1917 through 1921. The letters, written faithfully to her parents once a week, encompass some important national themes: World War I, the Spanish Influenza epidemic, and the first U.S. election in which women could vote. They reveal the crossroads that America was facing in those years, such as the horse and buggy vs. the automobile in civilian life, and the horses and mules vs. airplanes and tanks in warfare.Agnes Edwards Partin is the author of 'Student Life at the University of California, Berkeley During And After World War I: The Letters of Agnes Edwards Partin, 1917-1921', published 2006 under ISBN 9780773457973 and ISBN 0773457976.
