📝 Book Review & Summary

This book belongs in FemRes because it brings war, security, and state violence back from abstract diplomacy into gender, labor, race, colonialism, and everyday life. For readers, it shows how militarism enters homes, factories, borders, media narratives, peace operations, and international law, not only battlefields. It is not a feminist theory text in the narrow sense, but it gives feminist readers evidence for rejecting lazy explanations of wartime sexual violence.

It is especially useful alongside FemRes topics on Feminist Security Studies, War and Peace, Militarism, Anti-Sexual Violence, Nationalism, and Decolonial Feminism.
