Etta And Otto And Russell And James - Plot & Excerpts

Etta was teaching the class a Brief History of War, at the request of Winnie. They had been acting out Troy. Now most of them were pretend-killed on the schoolroom floor, and it was time for questions.
    Women, Winnie? What about them?
    Winnie sat up, brushed the chalk and boot-dust off the back of her head. What did they do, to fight, to help? Where were they?
    Well, we know about Helen . . .
    She doesn’t count. Queens don’t count. What about the normal ones? What about the sisters of the Greeks?
    I bet some of them helped. I bet some were spies.
    Like Mata Hari?
    Exactly.
    But not fighters?
    Not fighters.
    That’s stupid.
    There are nurses . . .
    In Troy?
    Now.
    So, women can only be nurses or spies?
