Women and children in a Europe at war (1914-1949) is divided into two parts: the first includes the texts and excellent graphic documentation from the exhibition of the same name. The second comprises a series of works by international specialists that delve into specific aspects of women's involvement in the armed conflicts that ravaged Europe in the first half of the 20th century, how children experienced these wars, and how, after the death, destruction, and barbarity that devastated the continent during those years, it has been possible to recover the memory of the tragedies suffered by individuals and groups who were victims of that horror.

As the philosopher María Zambrano wrote, peace is not only "the absence of war", it is much more, "a way of living, of inhabiting the planet".

With this book, we would like to contribute a small part to that noble desire for PEACE for the young generations of today and those to come.
