Book Review: Intelligent Compassion: Feminist Critical Methodology in the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom

Since 1979, the readership of Feminist Review has relied upon the journal as ‘a vehicle to unite research and theory with the political practice, and contribute to the development of both’. Catia Confortini’s book Intelligent Compassion: Feminist Critical Methodology in the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom speaks directly to the core mission of this journal and will be of great interest to those readers who remain committed to FR’s mission of critical and sophisticated scholarship. This well-organised and well-researched historical account of a critically engaged and constantly evolving women’s activist organisation is both informative and captivating and should be read by all those interested in feminist theorising and feminist advocacy.
