Autobiographical and Biographical Experiences

214 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An important collection of articles that challenge both historically and currently the hegemonic masculinity of wars, conflicts and soldiers involved in wars and conflict. Highlights women’s experiences and sacrifices in defending their countries and laments their societal traditional culture which fails to recognize such achievements upon their return from the fight. The sections on women indirectly involved in war situations, illustrate the prevalence of gender discrimination embedded in such institutions and highlights women’s struggles in joining and becoming members of such structures.
