What is Women, violence, and war : wartime victimization of refugees in the Balkans about?

"This book (is) extremely useful in discovering the other, less known and silenced womens' suffering during the Yugoslav War... a timely contribution, I would certainly purchase this book for myself and my students." Professor Svetlana Slapsack, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia<br> <br> "This book powerfully reveals, from the concrete experiences of women victims, that evil and aggression could be awakened almost anywhere, anytime." Professor Marina Blagojevic, Women's Study Centre, Belgrade<br> <br> Based on interviews with seventy women refugees, Women, Violence and War is a book about war as it is seen, lived and interpreted by women who were citizens of the former Yugoslavia.<br> <br> Many of the accounts portray the horrific experiences the victims had to face and the book addresses issues of sexual, physical and psychological violence, as well as problems of confinement, upheaval and family separation. In a completely new insight the book dispels the myth that many of the women were peasants, and shows that in fact they were educated, middle-class women with independent careers. The study also depicts how some of the victims attempt to come to terms with the aftermath
