How a Century of War Changed the Lives of Women looks at the
remarkable impact of war on women in Britain. It shows how conflict
has changed women's lives and how those changes have put women at
the centre of peace campaigning. Lindsey German, one of the UK's
leading anti-war activists and commentators, shows how women have
played a central role in anti-war and peace movements, including
the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The women themselves talk
about how they overcame prejudice and difficulty to become valued
members of the struggle. The book integrates this experience with a
historical overview, analysing the two world wars as catalysts of
social change for women. It looks at how the changing nature of
war, especially the involvement of civilians, increasingly involves
significant numbers of women. As well as providing an inspiring
account of women's opposition to war, the book also turns a
critical eye to contemporary developments, challenging negative
assumptions about Muslim women and showing how anti-war movements
are feeding into a broader desire to change society.
