About the Book
Objective The main objective of this paper is to discern through the available scholarship how participation in the Sierra Leone civil war impacted girls and women. My main thesis and area of interest is the answer to this question: Did the female experience differ from the male? I contend that the female experience was in many ways similar but within the female role there was never any parity with the male. Women and girls were expected to carry out two roles, firstly as soldiers similar to the boys and men and secondly, as " bush wives " , cooks and other traditionally female roles. This I will show, is borne out by the juxtaposition of their roles before and after the war with their participation in the war itself.

Originally from Great Britain, I came to Oregon, married an Oregonian and now have three lovely boys. Photography has been an interest of mine for over twenty years. Besides Oregon I have many photographs taken throughout my travels around the world. I have been very lucky in this respect and even luckier in that I have been able to capture moments and images of many beautiful places - Carol Munro Recollections of Sierra Leone came about as I was looking through all my recently digitized slides that my father took in the 1970's. The photographs seemed to be original and fairly rare so I thought other people might also enjoy seeing them in a beautiful book. Who Knew? Stench in the City of Roses is the result of about six years research, writing and editing. It looks at vice in Portland, Oregon from about 1900 to 1970. A fun read and an eye opener for anyone interested in another fascinating facet of Oregon history. Many photos included!
