Lindsey German links two major forms of women's involvement in war: as activists opposing conflict and as workers during it. Seen through the prism of women's experience, German tells a fascinating and important story. -- Nina Power, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Roehampton University and the author of One-Dimensional Woman.

Lindsey German, an historian and longterm defender of women's liberation, links two major forms of women's involvement in war: as activists opposing conflict and as workers during it. Breaking the simple dichotomy between resistance and complicity this book also balances the emancipatory and destructive aspects of war. Seen through the prism of women's experience, German tells a fascinating and important story. -- Nina Power, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Roehampton University and the author of One-Dimensional Woman.
