Tjon Sie Fat About the Editors and Contributors 681 Index 691 Acknowledgments Women, War, and Violence, like all book projects, was a collective endeavor rather than simply the product of the people whose names are on the cover. It is risky to single people out for thanks, because we will miss someone crucial, but we do want to mention some of the many who played key roles in the process. Many friends and colleagues, along with many of the contributors to this project, shaped the process of finding the right topics and recruit- ing the best authors. We turned first to Sandra Cheldelin at the Center for Gender and Conflict at George Mason University’s School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, along with other key scholars, including Rich- ard Rubenstein, Nancy Hanrahan, Leslie Dwyer, and Yukiko Furuya (who helped to map out the literature). One of the joys of working on this project was interacting with pioneers in this crucial interdisciplinary field, like Betty Reardon, Dorota Giercyz, and Mary Elizabeth King, and getting a sense of a community of scholars and activists around the world who have been struggling to understand and miti- gate violence against women. Behind the scenes was a remarkable team of people who know how to turn ideas into books, from Alice Merritt, who first got us involved, through Steve Catalano, who shepherded the project through many hur- dles, and many others including Peter Feely and Nicole Azze. Finally, we are grateful to our patient children—Amina, Amani, and Brian—who supported us with their energy and time. This project is for them in hopes it makes a small contribution to making their world a better place with more empowered women who face much less violence.
