Women Waging War and Peace: International Perspectives of Women's Roles in Conflict and Post-Conflict Reconstruction, edited by Sandra I. Cheldelin and Maneshka Eliatamby, examines how women actively contribute not only to conflict, but also to peace and social change in diverse contexts around the world.
"Tremendoulsy rich in cross-national case studies, Women Waging War and Peace critically examines the complex agency of girls and women in the contexts of child soldiers, suicide bombers, front-line soldiers, peace negotiators, and peacebuilders. By combining primary research, theoretical lenses from various academic disciplines, and women's lived experiences in all their trauma, healing, and triumph, Women Waging Peace and War reinforces the critical need for international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and policy leaders to empower women. The Institute for Conflict Analysis & Resolution at George Mason University has provided a tremendous contribution to the fields of conflict analysis, peace studies, and women's studies." -Paige Eager, Associate Professor, Hood College
