In order to filter women's use & role in the Yugoslav war through an "action-response complex" model, Slapsak considers the anthropological & cultural traditions of the Balkans. Illustrations of seminal Serbian poetry, philosophy, & mythology are given. The activities & history of death cults are examined. Female striving for independence is related from the French Revolution. Changes in Yugoslav women's roles after WWII & in relation to communism are delineated. Also considered are the impacts of Tito's death, widespread rape in Bosnia, conflicts between feminism & Croatian nationalism, Serbian women's war opposition, & activities such as "Women in Black." Consideration of women's potential considers populist reactions to the war's purported causes, the role of international media attention, & transmutation by women of tradition & ritual to address wounds & issues.

Established & stereotypical attitudes about women's relation to war are examined. Statements opining the relatively abstract or relational bent of male & female thinking are cited. Links between thinking types & warmongering are drawn. Quotes & opinions from the work of Burguieres, Carroll, Harris, Ruddick, & Steihm are used to inspect narrow views of women, men, & armed conflict. The feminist theoretical challenge for a rethinking of the meaning of power & its use in various contexts is enhanced by quotes from Weber & Foucault. The "women & peace" stereotype is considered in relation to male pacifists such as Gandhi & Tolstoy, & with regard to war as a pursuit of abstract ideals. Conclusions focus on the discrepancies belying hidebound notions of women & peace. Reworking of responsibility through powerful institutions & societal networks is advocated. M. C. Leary
