'This volume makes visible the challenges faced by women in their important organized efforts to defend peaceful communities and cultivate a non-violent world.' - Rosalie Bertell, Recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, the UNEP Global 500 award and the Sean MacBride International Peace Award.; 'This fine collection of feminist writing from many parts of the world is an invaluable resource for those of us working locally with global perspectives. In it, feminist understandings, forged in particular struggles in many different locations are honoured and shared and their general strategic significance explored. Here we read about women's resistance to Arak production in India and oil production in Nigeria, feminists' personal and political understandings of sexual pleasure, of leadership, and of peace and human rights, and feminists resistance to the genderizing of their visions.' - Dr. Monica Munoz-Vargas, Unifem Regional Director, Brazil and Southern Cone
