A Eurocentric, white, heterosexual male bias in the discourse of trauma studies has often ignored the everyday trauma of the varied gender, class, ethnic, racial, and postcolonial identities. Hence, it is no wonder that the critique of war literature through a lens of trauma studies often leaves out the trauma of the Homefront, especially that of women. This paper investigates an alternative trauma space for women in war literature by closely analyzing Rebecca West’s The Return of the Soldier, largely considered as a traumatic tale of a wounded World War I soldier Christopher Bradley. In the process, the paper reevaluates the character of Margaret, Chris’s love interest, to situate her in the trauma framework towards attaining a trauma discourse that is more inclusive, gender-neutral, and free of definitive class bias. Drawing references on the pluralistic model of trauma studies and evaluating scholarship that, finally, foregrounds the role of Margaret, it aims at furthering the discussion in an attempt to exclusively listen to her ordeal and, eventually, respond to her unique traumatic situations.
