Prejudice and Reason 
some Australian women’s responses to war 19 May, : wmnsweb@iprimus.com.au

If educators, students and all of us don’t hear OUR stories, what will they hear over the next two years until and during the centenary of ANZAC day?

If we don’t work to promote women’s voices who will?

Don’t schools, libraries and universities need OUR voices, too?

Prejudice and Reason
some Australian women’s responses to war
is now online http://www.prejudiceandreason.com.au/
as well as in book form available Readings Books, New International Bookshop or from Women’s Web.

For every person who:

• was shocked when the USA responded to the terrorist attacks on the twin towers in 2001 instead of treating the attacks as crimes;
• has ever wondered whether to use reason or to fight back if attacked;
• wants to know more of our herstory as well as our history; and
• for everybody who has ever criticised Governments, political parties, press censorship, the media, industry or racist or sexist laws.
