  May Sinclair and the First World War by Suzanna Raitt - Ideas, Vol. 6, No. 2, 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
For Sinclair, as for her country, the definition of the object "war" entailed the redefinition of the category "woman."

Sinclair's time in Belgium was dominated by her desperate desire to be under fire rescuing the wounded and the equally strong determination of her fellow workers to keep her away from situations in which she would simply be in the way.

 May Sinclair and the First World War by Suzanna Raitt - Ideas, Vol. 6, No. 2, 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Sinclair may have fantasized about the pleasures of battle, but there was clearly something about her behavior that suggested she was, understandably enough, less than enthused at the prospect of participating in it in the flesh.

Sinclair's interest in him as a character reveals her concern for those who are left out of the "herd," as Trotter called it: women and men who are disabled in some way—age, physique, psychic make-up.
