The author [sic] entered the faultline at the 1984 Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp where urban women and Aboriginal women demonstrated agaist military bases. As she moved through the landscape of this and other very different places, she recorded her interactions: with Aboriginal women in the desert and in the mountains, and with white women in the tropics. It is a thoughtful challenge of all that we think. Margaret [sic] concludes with reflections on the architecture of love.' (Source: Backcover)
