"The Living Present" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel likely written during the early 20th century, around the time of World War I. The book primarily focuses on the significant roles and contributions of French women during wartime, highlighting their resilience and resourcefulness as they support their country and communities amidst the conflict. At the start of the book, the author shares her experiences in France from May to August 1916, where she becomes personally involved in the war efforts of women. Through her observations, she introduces readers to various women, like Madame Balli and Mlle. Javal, who have taken on vital roles in organizing relief efforts and supporting wounded soldiers. The opening sets a poignant tone, illustrating the transformation of these women from societal figures into proactive agents of change, all while addressing the misconceptions held by American women regarding their French counterparts.
