- Description
- This book is an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts - martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. It examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, the book engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike.

- Description
- In traditional historical and scholarly accounts of the making and fighting of wars, women are often nowhere to be seen. War stories are told as if men were the only ones who plan, fight, are injured by, and negotiate ends to wars. As this book tells,women can be found at every turn in the (gendered) phenomena of war. Women have participated in the making, fighting, and concluding of wars throughout history, and their participation is only increasing at the turn of the 21st century. Women experience war in multiple ways: as soldiers, as fighters, as civilians, as caregivers, as sex workers, as sexual slaves, refugees and internally displaced persons, as anti-war activists, as community peace-builders, and more.

- Description
- During the first days of the Spanish Civil War, women played an integral role in the spontaneous uprising that prevented the immediate success of the Nationalist coup. Around one thousand of these women went on to join the militias who fought at the front. Women’s participation in the anti-fascist resistance constituted one of the greatest mass political mobilizations of women in Spain’s history. By late 1936, attitudes towards women in combat began to change drastically, and by March 1937, the majority of milicianas had been removed from their combat positions. Though there existed a consensus around this issue among the male leadership of both the Republican government and left-wing political groups, female combatants viewed this turn of events differently. The majority of the milicianas saw it as a retreat from the gains women had made during the war and revolution. The political leadership within the Republic presented numerous arguments for why it was necessary to remove women from combat. This book argues that the reason it was considered acceptable for women to fight, and then seen as undesirable eight months later, was connected to the course of the social revolution.

- Description
- This book explores the cultural understanding of actors, agents and structures of war and how can we make sense of attitudes towards women, agency and war today. Ahall argues that all types of stories are informed by ideas about motherhood and maternal reproduction as the foundation of sexual difference. This does not only mean that women are judged based on the shape of their, maternalised, bodies, rather than what they actually do, but, it means that ideas about motherhood function to police contemporary gender norms and contemporary understandings of agency in war.This book argues that maternalist war stories function to reiterate traditional heteronormative gender roles.The body politics of war told through maternalist war stories is a process in which the sexing of war means the policing of gender borders, with motherhood acting as the border agent.

- Description
- Volume about media representations and practices that have emerged out of contemporary wars. The author considers two questions: how the construction of gender, race and class in media are productive of regimes of truth regarding war and military life, and how such constructions may intensify militarism. By examining news and documentary media produced since September 11, 2001, she demonstrates that news narratives that include women use feminism selectively in gender equality narratives. They tend to reinforce historically resonant gender, race and class identity constructions.

- Coco Fusco offers a look at women's role in the military and at America's use of torture in the War on Terror. The opening essay, 'Invasion of space by a female' takes its title from the term for the authorized military tactic and takes the form of a letter to Virginia Woolf. 'A field guide for female interrogators' guises as a CIA manual. In 'The feminist future' Fusco poses as a visitor from the US Army who, on the occasion of a gathering of preeminent women in the art world, congratulates her peers for their strategic containment of feminism. The book also includes a FBI memo that contains a description of an interrogation involving a female interrogator who made sexual advances as part of her approach to a prisoner.

- De avonturen van Fanny Schoonheyt (Rotterdam, 1912-1961) beginnen met haar droom journalist te worden. Ze vindt een baantje op de redactie van NRC Handelsblad waar ze bekende mannen ontmoet als Victor van Vriesland en mr. J. Huyts, volgens het journalistieke roddelcircuit een sovjetspion. Eind 1934 vertrekt ze naar Spanje waar ze probeert een bestaan als buitenlandcorrespondent op te bouwen. Maar in juli 1936 breekt de Spaanse Burgeroorlog uit. Fanny pakt het geweer op en krijgt zelfs bekendheid als 'de koningin van de mitrailleuse'. In 1938 wordt ze op geheime missie naar Parijs gestuurd. Dit heldinnenverhaal blijkt ook een geschiedenis van zwijgen te zijn, want Fanny heeft haar moedige verrichtingen in de Spaanse Burgeroorlog angstvallig verzwegen. Zelfs haar dochter wist niet dat ze in Spanje had gevochten.
