The 9/11 attacks fundamentally transformed how the U.S. approached
terrorism, and led to the unprecedented expansion of
counterterrorism strategies, policies, and practices. While the
analysis of these developments is rich and vast, there remains a
significant void. The diverse actors contributing to
counterterrorism increasingly consider, engage and impact women as
agents, partners, and targets of their work. Yet, flawed
assumptions and stereotypes remain prevalent, and it remains
undocumented and unclear how and why counterterrorism efforts
evolved as they did in relation to women. Drawing on extensive
primary source interviews and documents, A Woman's Place traces the
evolution of women's place in U.S. counterterrorism efforts through
the administrations of Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, examining
key agencies like the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of
State, and USAID. In their own words, Joana Cook investigates how
and why women have developed the roles they have, and interrogates
U.S. counterterrorism practices in key countries like Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Yemen. Analysing conceptions of and responses to
terrorists, she also considers how the roles of women in Al-Qaeda
and ISIS have evolved and impacted on U.S. counterterrorism
considerations.
