""At a time when war-affected girls and women in Africa are sidelined, jeopardized, and forgotten, Jennifer Moore's book, Women's Work, could not be more relevant. Carefully written, the book reflects a genuine, honest, and innovative engagement with war-surviving women in Uganda and Sierra Leone. Moore's critical analysis, unparalleled ethical-research approach, and inclusive knowledge-sharing with rural communities transcend conventional paradigms, transforming ideals of motherhood, empowerment, and justice into indelible peacebuilding efforts."" (Veronica Fynn Bruey, editor of Patriarchy and Gender in Africa) ""Women's Work is required reading for anyone interested in feminist theory, transformative justice, criminal punishment abolition, or TWAIL (Third World Approaches to International Law). Jennifer Moore brings an all too rare scholarly humility to her years of deep engagement with women she calls 'peacebuilders' in Northern Uganda and Sierra Leone—women who daily seek to build back their lives and communities after catastrophic armed conflict and its ongoing penumbra of economic hardship and violence."" (Laura E. Gómez, author of Misconceiving Mothers: Legislators, Prosecutors and the Politics of Prenatal Drug Exposure)
