Crossing Borders, Making Homes: Stories of Resilient Women

War, terrorism and discrimination affect the lives of women and their families across the globe. It is often up to women to create and re-create safe homes within themselves, families and communities. Crossing Borders, Making Homes: Stories of Resilient Women is a collection of narratives that illustrate the resilience, resolve and strength of women. The contributors are a racially and ethnically diverse group of international and native-born women who have crossed literal and figurative borders in their struggle for empowerment, social justice and peace. A major part of each woman’s story is the commitment to making positive change in local and global communities. The women’s resilience and their commitment to social justice serves as inspiration to readers everywhere.
