For over a decade, Boko Haram has waged a campaign of terror across
northeastern Nigeria. In 2014, the kidnapping of 276 girls in
Chibok shocked the world, giving rise to the #BringBackOurGirls
movement. Yet Boko Haram's campaign of violence against women and
girls goes far beyond the Chibok abductions. From its inception,
the group has systematically exploited women to advance its aims.
Perhaps more disturbing still, some Nigerian women have chosen to
become active supporters of the group, even sacrificing their lives
as suicide bombers. These events cannot be understood without first
acknowledging the long-running marginalisation of women in Nigerian
society. Having conducted extensive fieldwork throughout the
region, Hilary Matfess provides a vivid and thought-provoking
account of Boko Haram's impact on the lives of Nigerian women, as
well as the wider social and political context that fuels the
group's violence.
