I have enjoyed reading Noddings's work before, but I just did not get a lot of this text. The emphasis is primarily on Western understandings of peace and exemplars, and while Noddings talks about women/men and peace/violence, it reinforces gender binaries without doing work to look at gender being constructed by violence (and mutually constructing other structural violences). (This is a common theme in peace education and it's just so disappointing.)
