Life Out of Death: The Feminine Spirit in El Salvador

This is an anthology of conversations with women who lived through El Salvador's bloody civil war.Here, in their own words, women reveal how they are coming to terms with their memories of war, death squads and disappearances, and how they are using those memories to shape a new theology and work for a better future.Women from Christian communities, women's groups and political organisations describe their need to 're-member' what has been 'dis-membered' in the violence of war. They show how it is possible, through remembrance, to effect spiritual and physical healing. Their courage and hope are inspirational.
