All wars are started by men, so goes the saying. Whether this is true or not, patriarchal capitalism is certainly the driving force behind war in the modern era. So can we end war with feminism? This book argues that this is possible, and is in fact already happening.Each chapter provides a solution to war using innovative examples of how feminist and queer theory and practice can inform pacifist treaties, movements and methods, from the international to the domestic spheres. Including chapters on how the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is informed by feminist theory, how indigenous feminism provides the key to reimagining peace, the disruptive aesthetics of North Korean womens art, the link between male domestic violence and mass violence, rethinking the queer definition of security, and many more aspects.By thinking beyond the violence of the capitalist patriarchy, this book makes the powerful case that the possibility of life without war is real.
