This book was filled with much needed inspiration and some practical information on how to keep the peace movement alive and well. I admire Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans and Diane Wilson and the other contributors to this book - if anyone can pull us out of the mess we're in, it will be the women! ( ) This book was put together by the founders of CodePink, a women's peace group that sprung up before the Iraq war started: http://www.codepinkalert.org/ I'm about 75 pages into it so far and loving it, so I bought this extra copy to share. It offers up a lot of food for thought, including ideas for moving from a "dominator" model in our society to a more democratic "partnership" model, how to educate your children in peacebuilding, and so on. important work for the current day. most of the essays are good, but a few fell into the tired cliches about women being naturally more peaceful than men (um, have you heard of Margaret Thatcher, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Condi Rice, etc.?) CodePink is turning into a household name in the anti-war movement. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
