Summary/Abstract: This work deals with the engagement of French women in humanitarian missions in the second decade of the 20th century, strongly marked by wars. French volunteers accompanied the injured and Serbian patients not only in the Balkans but also during the withdrawal through Albania and arrived in North Africa as well as France. In This article, we wish to highlight the role of French women in these missions and to do this, we will use historical sources that we have collected as well as the military archives that have been made available our disposal.
