Description: "Images of Women in Peace and War explores women's attempts to transform accepted images of their wartime experience. The essays range from a look at the impact of female guerrilla warriors in the Mau Mau on gender ideology in Kenya, to an exploration of the way that European women interned in the Far East used their femininity as a survival technique. . . . The far-reaching scope of the book is stretched thin in parts, and the contributions vary in quality, but overall it is a valuable and insightful collection that succeeds in exploring the ways in which images of women in peace and war are constructed and used in a wider social sphere."-- Women's Review of Books
