Testament of Youth

About “Testament of Youth”

Testament of Youth is a memoir by Vera Brittain, a British nurse and activist who lived from 1893 to 1970. Published in 1933, the book covers the years 1900 to 1925. Brittain later wrote Testament of Experience, published in 1957, which covers the years 1925 to 1950. Between these works, she wrote Testament of Friendship, a memoir of her friend and colleague Winifred Holtby. Brittain planned a final memoir, either Testament of Faith or Testament of Time, but it was left unfinished when she died. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
