Summary/Abstract: The focus of this chapter will be on the period of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Wartime events will be reconstructed from the stories of the women interviewed for this book, newspaper articles from the period between 1992 and 1995, NGO reports, and other publications from this time. The chapter aims to present war from a different and, until now, invisible perspective in which women are the main actors. The first half of the chapter will cover the war itself; the period between 1992 and 1995; and the female members of government, political parties, and the armed forces, and women activists. The second half of the chapter will offer an insight into two key events of 1995 – the Fourth Conference on Women in Beijing, and the Dayton Peace Accords.
