"Rape, femicide and the social exploitation of women are endemic. Feminist
activism to end gendered oppression and violence is urgent and will be
strengthened by fostering a greater understanding of the masculinist and
patriarchal nature of militarism and war and making the scope and extent of
current movements for change better known." -- Cynthia Cockburn
Women in Black is a worldwide network of women "committed to peace with
justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism and other forms of
violence." The late feminist solidarity activist Cynthia Cockburn tells the
story of this indispensable global anti-violence movement known around the
world for staging dramatic actions that seek to expose and denounce war, rape,
militarism and apartheid. As well as an inspiring account of a networked
feminist struggle, this book also presents a template for analysis and action
in our era of multiplying wars, surging military spending and rampant gendered
violence. As neoliberal states starve the commons to feed the war machine and
nationalist movements gain traction around the world, there is much to learn
from the transversal actions and coalition building that Women in Black has
engaged in for decades.
Cynthia Cockburn knew she was going to die before she was able to complete
this book, so she asked her companions from the global Women in Black network
to carry on with this vital project of chronicling a movement that has spanned
decades and continents. The result is a testament to the beauty and
intellectual power of a truly collective effort. This dramatic and inspiring
story of a history-making movement could not be more vital and life affirming.
