Women waging war and peace

"This unique collection of essays looks at women's experiences during times of conflict and post-conflict reconstruction. It demonstrates cases of remarkable agency -- where women are the authors of change. All essays were selected because their compelling cases are evidence of women's choices imposed on and around the world. The Black Widows of Chechnya and the Black Tigresses of Sri Lanka, along with girl soldiers in Sierra Leone and Liberia are in stark contrast to the work of the H'mong women in the Gulf of Mexico, and the WOZA women of Zimbabwe. Written by international scholars, experts, and practitioners, Women Waging War and Peace makes the case that women are significant players in conflict, conflict resolution, and sustainable peacemaking."--Publisher's description.
