Opis

This book explores women’s activities in militant insurgencies and seeks to understand what women ‘do’ in wars and how that challenges or endorses gender norms.

Recenzje

'I find Swati Parashar's book to be very insightful, bringing up a topic which has so far been under-discussed: the issue of the politics of militant women. Her two case studies show the diversity of female involvement in wars. She is unapologetic about women' violence and points out the processes of silencing. I would like to congratulate Swati Parashar on her publication and I would prompt everyone interested in gender and conflict studies to read it.' - Zuzana Hrdlickova, E-International Relations
