The War Nurses series by Lizzie Page consists of two books set during World War I. The War Nurses (2018) tells the story of nurses inspired by Elsie Knocker and Mairi Chisholm, two real women who became well known for their bravery in treating wounded soldiers close to the front lines in Belgium. They famously used motorcycles to reach casualties, earning international recognition.

Daughters of War (2018) continues the wartime nursing theme, this time drawing on the life of Mary Borden, a writer and volunteer nurse who set up her own field hospital during the war. Both books combine historical fact with fictional storytelling, bringing attention to women whose contributions during the conflict were often overlooked. Page’s research into these real figures gives the novels an authentic feel grounded in documented events.
