This book explores the contours of women's involvement in the Irish
Republican Army, political protest and the prison experience in
Northern Ireland. Through the voices of female and male combatants,
it demonstrates that women remained marginal in the examination of
imprisonment during the Conflict and in the negotiated peace
process. However, the book shows that women performed a number of
roles in war and peace that placed constructions of femininity in
dissent. Azrini Wahidin argues that the role of the female
combatant is not given but ambiguous. She indicates that a tension
exists between different conceptualisations of societal security,
where female combatants both fought against societal insecurity
posed by the state and contributed to internal societal dissonance
within their ethno-national groups. This book tackles the lacunae
that has created a disturbing silence and an absence of a
comprehensive understanding of women combatants, which includes
knowledge of their motivations, roles and experiences. It will be
of particular interest to scholars of criminology, politics and
peace studies.
