1000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe

The lives, strategies and visions of 1,000 women nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize have been recorded in this fat hardcover book, complete with photos and biographies of each nominee. They come from all walks of life – farmers to artists, lawyers to health workers – and from 150 countries. Exciting in its scope, range and diversity, and useful as a guide and networking tool, 1000 Peace Women is likely to appeal most to those involved in grassroots peace and women’s movements.
