A collection of thirty-eight true stories

Compiled and written by Sally Haton-Keeva (who spent fives years in research and interviewed sixty people), Valiant Women In War And Exile is a collection of thirty-eight true stories ranging from pre-World War I Europe to Central America in the 1980s. Women in combat, social workers in refugee camps, nuns, nurses, and a great many others share their personal tales and experiences of hardship, survival, strength, in these compelling accounts. Valiant Women In War And Exile is a strongly recommended addition to Women's Studies reading lists and library collections.
