Women On War by Daniela Gioseffi

An International Anthology of Writings from Antiquity to the Present

An international anthology that gathers women’s voices across centuries and cultures—through poems, essays, letters, speeches, and manifestos—to confront the human costs of conflict and the gendered dynamics of militarism. It highlights the experiences of civilians, mothers, nurses, activists, and artists, revealing the psychological and physical toll of war on families and communities. Bridging historical and contemporary contexts, the collection offers ethical and political arguments for nonviolence, human rights, and social justice. The result is a chorus of witness and resistance that insists on memory, empathy, and the possibility of peace.
