peace movements and mothering  

Definition

  • Peace movements are organized groups of people who use coordinated action to promote a nonviolent resolution to conflict. Peace movements require a certain level of liberalism in a society, and mothers' involvement in peace movements requires economic support, some loosening of mothers' traditional domestic responsibilities, and either good childcare or an empty nest.
