PBS’s upcoming 5-part series, entitled: Women, War & Peace, is a look into the roles that women take when violence and war erupts in their countries. The trailer for the series, which begins airing October 11th, describes the circumstances where it is more dangerous to be a woman than a man when war breaks out. Its parts feature the women of Bosnia, Liberia, Afghanistan and Colombia, who have had pivotal roles in their countries’ wars. The 5th part of the series features subject matter experts, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee, discussing the state of women and war and challenging the notion that war is a man’s domain.

What was your first taste of freedom? Most of us at Womenkind agree it was the day we finally got our driver’s license.  The day we could say bye-bye to the parental units and cruise the streets at whim.  Driving a car is a liberation all its own.
