It relates stories of partisans in Holland, an Italian woman carrying guns and provisions in the face of hostile soldiers, and Kikuyu women involved in the Mau Mau insurrection in Kenya. A woman displaced from Silesia recalls fleeing with children across war-torn Germany, and women caught up in conflicts in Burma and in Rwanda share their tales. War's aftermath can be traumatic, as shown by journalists in Libya and by a midwife on the Cambodian border who helps refugees to give birth and regain hope. Finally, British women on active service in Afghanistan and at NATO headquarters also speak. 606 $aWomen in war$vBiography 606 $aWomen and war$zRwanda 606 $aWomen and war$zAfghanistan 606 $aWomen and war$zBurma 606 $aWomen and war$zKenya 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xWomen 615 0$aWomen in war 615 0$aWomen and war 615 0$aWomen and war 615 0$aWomen and war 615 0$aWomen and war 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xWomen. 702 $aArdener$b Shirley 702 $aArmitage-Woodward$b Fiona 702 $aSciama$b Lidia Dina 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798254103321 996 $aWar and women across continents$93733667 997 $aUNINA
