Despite efforts to equalize women's status in the world evidenced by changes in many international projects requiring a gender focus, women and men experience most of the world in very different ways according to gender. Further, the reality is that humans who do not all fall neatly into one of these categories  male or female  often find their lives further challenged.In the 1980s, Peace and Conflict Studies first began to acknowledge and study the different experiences males and females have during war and peace. Since then, there have been books about women and war, women working at grassroots levels to build peace, women and transitional justice, women and peace education, and women's views of human security. All of these works have contributed to the discourse of our changing world.This book b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA significant, inspiring and must-read book for all who seek peace in the world, for those who may be tempted to give up hope, and for those who claim that peace is not possible.  The authors move beyond simple formulas and platitudes to explore the complex realms of human relationships, and give evidence that every single effort to resolve human conflict peaceably - in our homes, our workplaces, our communities, and in our nations - is significant and important! -- Peggy Chinn, University of Connecticut\u003cbr\u003eGender and Peacebuilding brings to light often invisible contributions of women peacemakers in a wide diversity of cases across the world. The accounts are lucid, engaging, and theoretically informative. They reveal the complex fabric of culture, conflict, and adversity through which women have persevered to build innovative approaches to peace. The stories in this landmark collection will inspire and shape this field of study. -- Janie Leatherman, Fairfield University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Introduction– Maureen Flaherty and Tom Matyok \t\t PART I:  CHALLENGES AND RESPONSES: CASE STUDIES AND EXAMPLES  1 \tBarbara Deming: Feminism and Nonviolence \tCelia Cook-Huffman\t  2\tAfghan Women: Subjects of Peace and Objects of Violence \tElham Atashi\t  3 \tWounds of Genocide Rape: The Experiences of Two Women in Rwanda \tRegine Uwibereyeho King  4\tMothers at the Tree of Frustration: Locating Healing in Liberia \tAngela J.
