War, Women's Liberation and the Peace Movement looks at the remarkable experience of women in Britain who have campaigned against war. 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. *BR**BR*The women themselves talk about how they became active and involved in a political process, overcoming prejudice and difficulty to do so. The book integrates this direct experience into 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. *BR**BR*As well as providing an inspiring account of the historical experience of women's opposition to war the book also tackles key contemporary issues and developments, challenging negative assumptions about Muslim women and showing how anti war movements are feeding into a broader desire to change society.
