Women and Political Violence

Female Combatants in Ethno-National Conflict

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing upon case studies of Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland, this study explores how when women have traditionally appeared in literature on war they have been predominantly depicted as the victims of conflict. It takes seriously the reality of women as combatants.

---

This major new book directly challenges the stereotype that women are inherently peaceable by examining female combatants in ethno-national conflicts.
