Abstract:

In the meta-narrative of histories, the dominant motif of women in violent conflict is the Grieving Mother. Structured around six narratives of women negotiating violent politics in their everyday lives, this book shifts the focus away from the victimhood discourse and explores women's agency for both peace and conflict.
