The war does not have a woman's face is a book by Svetlana Alexiévich that offers a unique and moving perspective on World War II. Through interviews with women who fought in the Red Army, Alexiévich reveals the forgotten experiences of these protagonists, showing a side of the war different from the heroism and epic traditionally told. This book, which includes fragments censored in its first version, is a shocking testimony about the harshness of war and the impact on the lives of women.
