* Such events have been written about before, but conveyed in their
own words and seen from their isolated yet shared experience of a
single moment in the struggle, the women's stories are brought home
in a way that at times is truly painful to read and at other times
truly inspiring. * The book's concern is not just to accord the
four women - and others - their place in the history of the
struggle for freedom, or to bring home their bravery. It weaves
their experiences into the historical development of the struggle
in a way that highlights broader issues. * Draws out the particular
ways in which women's experience of activism and repression differs
from that of men, both in terms of the behaviour of the police and
of the women's ties with community, family and children. * The
book's broad timespan underpins the psychological effects of
sustained solitary confinement and its traumatic legacy. The
women's stories lead to a chapter reflecting on the trauma and its
impact when left unhealed.
