Yet most of these writings are little known, just as women's perceptions of war remain largely absent from the history books. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen on War\u003c\/i\u003e gathers together writings by more than 150 women, including renowned poets, novelists, essayists, journalists, and activists, as well as ordinary women with firsthand experience of armed conflict as survivors, refugees, rape victims, nurses, and soldiers. Spanning the globe and traversing more than two centuries, the pieces in this compelling collection range from an ancient verse by Sappho about a wife who awaits the return of her warrior husband to an essay by Arundhati Roy about the impact of September 11. In voices that are gripping, mournful, defiant, and often surprisingly hopeful, these writers join to produce a portrait of wartime experience and a plea for peace.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniela Gioseffi\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several volumes of poetry and fiction, including \u003ci\u003eWord Wounds and Water Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIn Bed With the Exotic Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e.
