This original study by the, the product of 80,000 miles of travel
by the author over a two-year period, examines women's activism
against wars as far apart as Sierra Leone, Colombia and India. It
shows women on different sides of conflicts in the former
Yugoslavia and Israel refusing enmity and co-operating for peace.
It describes international networks of women opposing US and
Western European militarism and the so-called 'war on terror'.
Women are often motivated by adverse experiences in male-led
anti-war movements, preferring to choose different methods of
protest and remain in control of their own actions. But like the
mainstream movements, women's groups differ - some are pacifist
while others put justice before non-violence; some condemn
nationalism as a cause of war while others see it as a legitimate
source of identity. The very existence of feminist antimilitarism
proposes a radical shift in our understanding of war, linking the
violence of patriarchal power to that of class oppression and
ethnic 'othering'.
