This edited volume provides a window on the many forces that
structure and shape why women and girls participate in terrorism
and militancy, as well as on how states have come to view, treat,
and strategize against them. Females who carry out terrorist acts
have historically been seen as mounting a challenge to the social
order by violating conventional notions of gender and power, and
their participation in such acts has tended to be viewed as being
either as a passive victim or a feminist warrior. This volume seeks
to move beyond these portrayals, to examine some of the structuring
conditions that play a part in a girl or woman's decision to commit
violence. Amidst the contextual factors informing her involvement,
the volume seeks also to explore the political agency of the female
terrorist or militant. Several of the articles are based on
research where authors had direct contact with female terrorists or
militants who committed acts of political violence, or with
witnesses to such acts.
