War Is Not Over When It’s Over

Women Speak Out from the Ruins of War

by Ann Jones

In 2007, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which brings relief to countries in the wake of war, wanted to understand what really happened to women in post-conflict zones. Answers came through the point and click of digital cameras. On behalf of the IRC, Ann Jones spent a year traveling through Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East, lending cameras to women who had no other means of telling the world what war had done to their lives. Their photographs chronicle the consequences of modern warfare for the most vulnerable. Animated by the voices of brave and resourceful women, War Is Not Over When It’s Over is a powerful dispatch from the ruins.

Praise for War Is Not Over When It’s Over

“Harrowing and important... What Jones brings to the fore here is sadly often overlooked in discussions of the world politic.”

Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Gripping... This searing exposé on war's remnants convincingly makes the case that gender inequality may be one of the greatest threats to peace.”

Kirkus Reviews

“While decrying the continuing ‘post-conflict zone' of violence against women…[Jones reveals] their fortitude in the direst of circumstances...[and] provides glimpses of hard-won triumphs.”
