All of the women peace heroines in this book particularly emphasized their role in the creation and nurturing of relationships crucial for peace work. These women were tireless in re-building broken relationships and in creating new ones with voiceless, powerless, and marginalized groups of citizens. They recognized that relationships are crucial not only on a personal level, but also when peace-building activities need to move on to other levels - societal, institutional, and global. 
Peacebuilders in this book are not perfect women, they are as entitled to mistakes and fear as anyone else, but what makes them stand out is the strength to stand tall and do things to make life better fro other people. When it comes from the soul, as Rumi explains “you feel a river moving in you, a joy“. Their deep belief that the light of humanity exists in every person and it just needs encouragement, gave them the strength to continue on their peace paths. They knew that when a sparkle of humanity appears in the eye of one person, it is possible to see the whole universe sparkle. These women have done it countless number of times and that makes their stories

special and important. I hope that in their stories the readers will recognize thecapability of ordinary people to drive changes and achieve results in circumstances in which people must dare imagine lives beyond the imposed social, ethnic, political and/or gender frames. These women dared imagine a different world, one without fear and imposed divisions and that makes their stories worth hearing.
The selected women live in six cities of BiH: Sarajevo (Rahela Džidić, Jadranka Miličević, Besima Borić, Amra Pandžo); Banja Luka (Nada Golubović and Lidija Živanović); Zenica (Sabiha Husić); Bosansko Grahovo (Danka Zelić); Bijeljina (Radmila Žigić); Bratunac (Stanojka Tešić); and Mostar (Jasminka Rebac).
