A journey through five London boroughs, revealing the lives of asylum seekers today

Examines women's activism against wars as far apart as Sierra Leone, Colombia and India. This book shows women on different sides of conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Israel refusing enmity and co-operating for peace. It describes international networks of women opposing US and Western European militarism and the so-called 'war on terror'.

The 1980s saw many organizations, from major companies to left-wing local councils, take action to improve women's chances. The author demonstrates the social mechanisms through which women's aspirations for change are thwarted and draws lessons from experience for feminist activism in organizations in the 1990s.

Cynthia's classic study of the remaking of man through the impact of technological change.
