While it raises new questions for future research, the book can be also helpful to other parties who rely on financial reporting in making decisions like regulators, policy makers, shareholders, investors, and gatekeepers e.g., auditors and analysts.

What the War Left Behind documents their stories, with eight women directly sharing their experiences of action and survival through the hardship of war.
