Carol Cohn’s edited volume gathers feminist analyses of women, gender, armed conflict, memory, displacement, and postwar futures.

Feminist Security Studies War and Peace Anti-Sexual Violence Migration Historical Context

📝 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. The collection helps FemRes users compare multiple feminist war questions rather than treating “women and war” as a single victimhood frame.

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