Die Frauenrechtlerin, Sexualreformerin und Pazifistin Helene Stöcker (1869-1943) gehörte im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts zu den bekannten Kulturpolitikerinnen in Deutschland. Sie stritt für den Anspruch von Müttern und Kindern auf Schutz und Fürsorge des Staates und setzte sich als Publizistin und gut vernetzte Pazifistin für Gewaltfreiheit, Kriegsächtung, Humanität und internationale Verständigung ein. Bereits Ende der 1920er Jahre begann Helene Stöcker damit, ihre Lebenserinnerungen aufzuschreiben. Die im Exil unvollendet gebliebene Autobiographie wird hier - ergänzt durch Briefe, Gedichte, Karikaturen und Fotos sowie durch eine historische Einführung - erstmals publiziert. Damit wird den wenigen Autobiographien von Frauen aus den liberalen und radikalen Bewegungen in Kaiserreich und Weimarer Republik ein weiteres wichtiges Zeitzeugnis an die Seite gestellt. Eine Stimme wird wieder hörbar gemacht, die durch die nationalsozialistische Vertreibung ihre Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten verloren hatte.

"How realistic is the prospect of peace in the Muslim world? This question is the predominant focus for global analysis today, but its debate frequently ignores the cultural and social complexity of the Muslim world, reducing it into a system of states and select actors. This book addresses such a failing by exploring how the everyday interactions of women, in accordance with Islamic personal ethics, can offer the world a new interpretation of peace. In particular, it focuses on the women in Islamic societies, from Aceh to Bosnia, Morocco to Bangladesh, initiating a dialogue on the role of these women in peacemaking. This concentration upon the complex issues of the everyday both enables a detailed exploration of how people conceptualise peace and opens up new frameworks for conflict resolution. The discussions that emerge lead to a critical questioning of assumptions about peace as a state policy and cessation of violence. Drawing upon original research from different parts of the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, including Iran, India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Egypt and Sudan, the contributors offer a refreshing new look at Muslim women as peacemakers, challenging any assumptions of Islam as an inherently violent religion. Such a timely work provides new and important analyses on the role of Muslim women in forging new pathways of peace in the contemporary world."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Women everywhere have long struggled for recognition as equal, productive members of society, worthy of taking part in the political process. These struggles become even more pronounced in times of conflict and war, when the symbolism and myths of womanhood are used to stoke nationalistic ideas about the survival of the state. Yet for all the rhetoric that takes place in their name, it's men who generally make decisions regarding war. Women and War examines how women respond to situations of conflict. Drawing on both traditional and feminist international relations theory, it explores the roles that women play before, during and after a conflict, how they spur and respond to nationalist and social movements, and how conceptions of gender are deeply intertwined with ideas about citizenship and the state. As Kaufman and Williams show, women do more than respond to conflict situations; they are active agents in their own right shaping political and historical processes. Their conclusions encourage us to rethink the prevalent assumptions of international relations, history and feminist scholarship and theory.
