In “Peace-makers,” three women are detangling the hair of Susana Blackwell, who was called in the news a “mail order bride” when she was brutally murdered by her husband. These three women Velma Veloria, Dr. Sutapa Basu, and Emma Catague, worked diligently to bring in legislation that would call her situation what it really was: human trafficking.


These three women put Lysistrata's words into action, proving that women do a better job than men at ceasing violence and bringing peace as they “untangle” dark situations and find peace for those in situations of violence.
