- Description
- The author explores political and historical themes in the personal stories of ordinary Rwandan women's stories of survival. She argues that women's leading role in Rwanda's renaissance emerged from the post-genocide situation that forced women into new roles, from advocacy by the Rwandan women's movement, and from the inclusion of women in the postgenocide government.
