- 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
- 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
- This book tells the stories of five women who fought in Iraq between 2003 and 2006 and of the challenges they faced while fighting a war painfully alone. It tells about the immoral tactics used by leaders and recruiters to get women to join the military, the terrible poverty and personal violence women were escaping that led them to be vulnerable to such manipulation, the raping and harassing of women soldiers by their superiors and comrades once they got to Iraq, or the untreated homelessness, illnesses, and madness that have haunted these women since they came home.

- Description
- The author shows that the people who become militarized are not just the obvious ones executives and factory floor workers who make fighter planes, land mines, and intercontinental missiles. They are also the employees of food companies, toy companies, clothing companies, film studios, stock brokerages, and advertising agencies. Militarization is never gender-neutral, Enloe claims: it is a personal and political transformation that relies on ideas about femininity and masculinity Enloe ranges widely from Japan to Korea, Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Britain, Israel, the United States, and many points in between. She covers a broad variety of subjects: gays in the military, the history of 'camp followers', the politics of women who have sexually serviced male soldiers, married life in the military, military nurses, and the recruitment of women into the military. She explores the complicated militarized experiences of women as prostitutes, as rape victims, as mothers, as wives, as nurses, and as feminist activists.

- Description
- This reader is about gender and the developing world. In recent years there has arisen a sophisticated feminist literature on the lives of Third World women, their roles in development and their experiences of conflict. However the lives of Third World men have been ignored or consigned negative and stereotypical gender roles. While it is vital not to overlook men's roles in crime, exploitation, and violence, it is obvious that a more nuanced and empathetic portrait of Third World men remains to be painted. In this anthology are parts about family and sexuality, religion, work, migration and masculinities.

- Description
- Every year, hundreds of thousands of women become victims of sexual violence in conflict zones around the world: in the Democratic Republic of Congo alone, approximately 1,100 rapes are reported each month. .This book offers an analysis of the causes and responses to sexual violence in contemporary armed conflict. It explores the function of wartime sexual violence and examines the conditions that make women most vulnerable to these acts both before, during and after conflict. To understand the motivations of the men who perpetrate this violence, the book analyzes the role played by systemic and situational factors such as patriarchy and militarized masculinity. Difficult questions are tackled: in particular, the case of child soldiers, who often suffer a double victimization when forced to commit sexual atrocities. The book concludes by looking at strategies of prevention as well as new programs being set up on the ground to support the rehabilitation of survivors and their communities. Sexual violence in war has long been a taboo subject but new steps are at last being taken at both local and international level - to end what has been called the “greatest silence in history”.

- Description
- Rape has long been a part of war, and recent conflicts in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur demonstrate that it may be becoming an even more integral strategy of modern warfare.The incidence and consequences of rape in the Vietnam War ( 1961- 1975 ) have been largely overlooked. Using testimony, oral accounts, literature, and film, this book focuses on the rape and sexual abuse of Vietnamese women by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War, and argues that the erasure and elision of these practices of sexual violence in the U.S. popular imagination perpetuate the violent masculinity central to contemporary U.S. military culture. The recognition of this violence is important not just for an accurate historical record, but also to understand the Vietnam veteran’s trauma, which often stems from his aggression rather than his victimization.

- Droegen vrouwen in Andalusië, ooit moslim-Europa, een boerka? Liepen ze gesluierd? Foto's hebben we niet, betrouwbare tekeningen evenmin. Maar in dit boek laat Lucas Catherine twintig vrouwen aan het woord die tussen 710 en 1610 leefden. Zo vond prinses Wallada in de 11de eeuw een literaire salon uit, en organiseerde Saida al Horra drie eeuwen later een oorlogsvloot tegen Spanje. En ja, beiden droegen een gezichtssluier. Het belette Wallada niet over haar ontrouwe minnaar te schrijven: 'Je bent een man met zes namen die je heel leven zullen achtervolgen: 'Homo, pederast en klootzak, hoorndrager, dief en makro'.' Het deed al Horra niet afzien van een jihad ter zee tegen de Spanjaarden.

- Description
- Mühlhäuser widerlegt in ihrer Studie die Vorstellung, die deutsche Militärführung hätte angesichts der offiziellen nationalsozialistischen Ablehnung sexueller Kontakte deutscher Männer zu »fremdvölkischen« Frauen versucht, sexuelle Aktivität der Soldaten in Osteuropa strikt zu unterbinden. Sie weist nach, dass von deutschen Truppenangehörigen verübte sexuelle Verbrechen in der UdSSR ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen waren: Soldaten zwangen Frauen und Männer, sich zu entkleiden, machten sie zu Opfern sexueller Folter und verübten Vergewaltigungen. Die Autorin betrachtet sexuelle Gewalt, aber ebenso das gesamte Spektrum heterosexueller Aktivitäten von Wehrmachts- und SS-Angehörigen im Kontext der damaligen Vorstellungen von Männlichkeit und Sexualität ' von Besuchen bei »geheimen« Prostituierten und in Militärbordellen, über Sex im Austausch gegen Schutz oder Lebensmittel bis hin zu konsensuellen Beziehungen, die mitunter dazu führten, dass die Männer Heiratsgesuche stellten. Dem gegenüber standen die institutionellen Bemühungen, die Sexualität der Soldaten zu kontrollieren. Die Führungen von Wehrmacht und SS versuchten nicht, heterosexuelle Kontakte strikt zu unterbinden, denn die Befriedigung sexueller Bedürfnisse galt als probates Mittel, um die Leistung der Männer zu optimieren. Dennoch hielt insbesondere die Wehrmacht ihre Soldaten zu sexueller Mäßigung an, verpflichtete sie zu hygienischer Vorsorge und errichtete Militärbordelle. Auf diese Weise wurden die sexuellen Aktivitäten der Soldaten nicht nur eingeschränkt, sondern auch begünstigt. Zudem schmiedeten die NS- Behörden Pläne zum Umgang mit den Soldatenkindern. Anhand von Militärdokumenten sowie persönlichen Berichten und Interviews ergründet die Autorin das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen dem Verhalten der Soldaten und den Reaktionen der NS- Militärführung.
