Queridas amigas en Espana,

Soy muy contenta de poder decir os que las 
investigaciones con cuales me me habeis ayudado 
en 2004 son publicadas en un libro. Conta las 
historias de muchas mujeres indefatigables y 
inspiracionales, activistas contra militarismo y 
guerra en varias paises. Entre ellas, 
vosotros!  He recibido tanto ayuda y apoyo de 
muchas mujeres y quiero decir muchas muchas 
gracias a todas. Voy mandar una copia por correo 
por Mujeres de Negro a la direccion de Concha 
esta semana. Disculpame el castellano malo!

Abrazos, Cynthia.

FROM WHERE WE STAND: War, Women’s Activism and Feminist Analysis

Cynthia Cockburn

Why do so many women organize against militarism 
and war? And why, very often, do they choose to 
do so in women-only groups? This original study, 
the product of 80,000 miles of travel by the 
author over a two-year period, examines women’s 
activism against wars as far apart as Sierra 
Leone, Colombia and India. It shows women on 
different sides of conflicts in the former 
Yugoslavia and Israel, refusing racism, enmity 
and collective guilt, working together for peace 
with justice. It describes transnational networks 
of women opposing US and Western European 
militarism and the so-called ‘war on terror’ and its accompanying 
racism.

Women are often motivated by adverse experiences 
in the male-dominated anti-war movements, 
preferring to choose different methods of protest 
and remain in control of their own actions. But 
like the mainstream movements, women’s groups 
differ. They debate pacifism - must justice come 
before peace? They differ on nationalism, some 
condemning it as a cause of war, others seeing it 
as a legitimate source of identity. Yet despite 
women’s varied positionalities and perspectives 
on war, a coherent feminism emerges in this 
transnational campaigning, and it suggests to 
both theory and activism a radical analytical 
shift: we cannot understand war, nor can we 
effectively campaign against it, without 
reference to gender power and gendered violence.

Cynthia Cockburn is one of the most valuable and 
innovative thinkers/activists/writers helping us 
all to make sense of women’s myriad forms of 
resistance to war and militarism. She shows how 
it is they who are crafting fresh thinking about 
how nationalism, masculinity, imperialism, 
racism, classism and misogyny each and together 
fuel militarism and its deadly outcomes. This is 
a book to open our eyes and move us to action.’ - 
Cynthia Enloe, Clark University

Cynthia Cockburn is one of the best gender 
researchers in the world. In this very important 
book she opens global perspectives on women’s 
politics and the struggle for peace, linking 
activist experience with up-to-date gender 
analysis.’ - Raewyn Connell, University of Sydney
