This book analyses the reasons for women's participation in the
various Lebanese and Palestinian militias involved in the Lebanese
Civil War (1975-1990). Whilst most existing accounts of the Civil
War in Lebanon either overlook the roles and experiences of women
entirely or focus on women as victims or peacemakers only, 'Women
and the Lebanese Civil War' highlights that women were involved as
militants (and often also as fighters) in all of the militias
partaking in the war. Analysing individual motivations,
organisational characteristics, security-related aspects and
societal factors, the book explains why women were included as
fighters in some of the militias but not in others. Based on
extensive fieldwork in Lebanon, the book is the first comprehensive
study of female perpetrators and supporters of political violence
during the Lebanese Civil War. Beyond the case of Lebanon, it
questions widespread assumptions about the roles of women at times
of violent conflict and war.
