This book explores how gender intersects with political violence,
and particularly terrorism. We ask how gender relations and
understandings of femininity and masculinity influence political
violence, which includes politics related to terrorism, state
terrorism, and genocide. We investigate how women cope with and
influence the politics of terrorism and genocide. The book's goals
are descriptive and analytical. We (1) describe in what ways women
are present (and/or perceived as absent) in political contexts
involving violence, and (2) analyze what gender assumptions,
identities, and frames women face and themselves express and act
upon regarding political violence encountered in their lives. The
manuscript is divided into seven chapters: introduction, women as
victims/survivors of violence, women as perpetrators of violence,
women in social movements responding to violence, women politicians
leading policy regarding violence, the public opinion of women and
men concerning violence, and a conclusion. Each chapter explores
the intersection between gender and terrorism through the lens of
the chapter focus.
