Militarism

A feminist movement history spanning more than three decades and five continents, documenting how Women in Black used black clothing, silent vigils, and local coalitions against occupation, war, militarism, apartheid, and gendered violence.

Cynthia Enloe develops twelve connected principles for tracing the gender politics of recruitment, care, wounds, wartime rape, women soldiers, feminist organizing, and the long aftermath misleadingly called “postwar.”

Cynthia Enloe links militarism to corporate supply chains, national security rhetoric, consumer culture, prisons, and global labor.

Laura Sjoberg offers an accessible but rigorous account of how gender orders shape the causes, conduct, narration, and aftermath of war.

Cynthia Enloe makes international politics visible through women working in tourism, domestic labor, diplomacy, military bases, and export economies.

Cynthia Enloe investigates financial crashes, political crises, peacekeeping, and revolutions by asking what changes when women are treated as politically serious.
