Drawing on family materials, historical records, and eyewitness
accounts, this book shows the impact of war on individual women
caught up in diverse and often treacherous situations. It relates
stories of partisans in Holland, an Italian woman carrying guns and
provisions in the face of hostile soldiers, and Kikuyu women
involved in the Mau Mau insurrection in Kenya. A woman displaced
from Silesia recalls fleeing with children across war-torn Germany,
and women caught up in conflicts in Burma and in Rwanda share their
tales. War's aftermath can be traumatic, as shown by journalists in
Libya and by a midwife on the Cambodian border who helps refugees
to give birth and regain hope. Finally, British women on active
service in Afghanistan and at NATO headquarters also speak.
