September 11, 2001: Feminist Perspective
"So many of us have been waiting for exactly this book! The voices and ideas here are so worldly, feminist, engaged. " September 11" will never pass as ungendered after one reads Hawthorne's and Winter's international collection. I'm going to use this in classes and give it to friends." Cynthia Enloe, author of Maneuvres: The International Politics of Militarising Women's Lives.
September 11, 2001: Feminist Perspectives is a rational and sound alternative to all the patriotic and emotional writing that appeared on the anniversary of September 11 - Erica Benns, Entropy
Unsurprisingly, many Afghan women regard the new political order as a false dawn
Their concerns, together with some of the best literary responses
have been consolidated in an excellent book of diverse feminist perspectives, edited by Susan Hawthorne and Bronwyn Winter Scott Burchill, The Age
Whilst it cannot be said that this is a book which makes enjoyable reading, the subject of September 11 itself being utterly disheartening, it is a book which at once inspires and shocks, moves and awakens and above all, reaffirms the strength of the worlds women and the pure necessity for their voices to be heard.
September 11: Feminist Perspectives, represents an essential contribution to the vast literature spawned by the events of that day in New York. Liz Crock, Canadian Womens Studies Journal
