"A war is raging and women are losing. But in a small New England town, a group of women gather to fight back. Armed only with spray paint and courage, they are determined to avenge the death of yet another murdered woman ... unless the war between them stops them first." - Reverse cover. "Conditions of War is large hearted, a terrific story of love and adventure among women who fight for women. It is bittersweet and funny, redolent with the sadness of lost love and not a few broken dreams. Lierre Keith has written a coming-of-age story for radical feminists in a time of serial sadism—a graceful political entertainment for the brave, the stubborn, the defiant, and those who want to be." - Andrea Dworkin
