Abstract

Book Reviews also one of the few contributors to the book to refer to the public/private divide when she explains that men are usually involved in peace negotiations at the political level while women remain active through grass-roots and community initiatives. In other words, men decide when to stop war at the political level and women maintain the peace at the local level. Hunt explains why listening to women's voices is important. Nonetheless, unlike other authors who simply assert that women are endowed with certain skills and characteristics linked to their culture and upbringing, Hunt supports her opinion by referring to various programs and projects carried out in several countries (pp 256-59). Her contribution works well as a conclusion to the book, for she makes suggestions for the future as to which kind of practical and political assistance women need to build peace. All in all, this is a very interesting book likely to interest any person already engaged in women's issues. Moreover, its practical and moderate points of view make it a good starting point for those who would like to learn more about women's experiences and their implementation in post-conflict situations without being plunged into feminist theories
