Intelligent compassion : The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and feminist peace / [electronic resource] Catia Cecilia Confortini. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. 1 online resource. Oxford studies in gender and international relations Includes bibliographical references and index. This book traces changes in ideas and policies of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF - the longest-living international women's peace organization) from 1945 to 1975. Focusing on three areas of the organization's work (disarmament, decolonization, and the conflict in Israel/Palestine), the book addresses the agent-structure problem in international relations, specifically asking to what extent activists can transcend the practices of their era given that they are also shaped by them.
