From Homer to Tim O'Brien, war literature remains largely the
domain of male writers, and traditional narratives imply that the
burdens of war are carried by men. But women and children
disproportionately suffer the consequences of conflict: famine,
disease, sexual abuse, and emotional trauma caused by loss of loved
ones, property, and means of subsistence.Collateral Damage tells
the stories of those who struggle on the margins of armed conflict
or who attempt to rebuild their lives after a war. Bringing
together the writings of female authors from across the world, this
collection animates the wartime experiences of women as military
mothers, combatants, supporters, war resisters, and victims. Their
stories stretch from Rwanda to El Salvador, Romania to Sri Lanka,
Chile to Iraq. Spanning fiction, poetry, drama, essay, memoir, and
reportage, the selections are contextualized by brief author
commentaries. The first collection to embrace so wide a range of
contemporary authors from such diverse backgrounds, Collateral
Damage seeks to validate and shine a light on the experiences of
women by revealing the consequences of war endured by millions
whose voices are rarely heard.
