Women as Wartime Rapists
Laura Sjoberg examines rare but revealing cases of female perpetrators of wartime sexual violence and how law and media make sense of them.
📝 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 prevents a simplistic equation of men with violence and women with innocence, while still keeping sexual violence and accountability at the center.
It is especially useful alongside FemRes topics on Feminist Security Studies, War and Peace, Militarism, Anti-Sexual Violence, Nationalism, and Decolonial Feminism.
