Focusing on the gendered history of the Troubles, this book delves into the emergence of the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition and community development's role in peacebuilding. Nearly two decades post-Belfast Agreement, societal divisions remain, with women strategically engaging in peace efforts often dismissed as "wee women's work." By highlighting the Women's Sector, the author employs feminist theory to differentiate between formal and informal political engagement, showcasing how women navigate tensions to foster community resilience and contribute to lasting peace.
