This River of Courage

WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women

The second volume in the Barbara Deming Memorial Series, this book tells the stories of women all over the world who used nonviolent action to affect social change, protect those in danger and fight for world peace. Organizing strikes, caravans for peace and even pee-ins are a few of the tactics engineered by ordinary women whose small, but persistent actions through history have chipped away at social injustice, human rights abuses and discrimination around the world. These are stories of courage to be shared as inspiration for other women fighting in the trenches to carve out pockets of peace and justice in their communities and lives.
