A Different Kind of Patriotism:

Women and Anti-War Activism in the U.S. and Beyond

From World War II to the Iraq War, women have defied governments and social norms to launch powerful grassroots anti-war movements. By basing their protest on maternal principles, they have opened unlikely national conversations about war while challenging traditional assumptions about left- and right-wing politics.
