Rwanda and Bosnia both experienced mass violence in the early
1990s. Less than ten years later, Rwandans surprisingly elected the
world's highest level of women to parliament. In Bosnia, women
launched thousands of community organizations that became spaces
for informal political participation. The political mobilization of
women in both countries complicates the popular image of women as
merely the victims and spoils of war. Through a close examination
of these cases, Marie E. Berry unpacks the puzzling relationship
between war and women's political mobilization. Drawing from over
260 interviews with women in both countries, she argues that war
can reconfigure gendered power relations by precipitating
demographic, economic, and cultural shifts. In the aftermath,
however, many of the gains women made were set back. This book
offers an entirely new view of women and war, and includes concrete
suggestions for policy makers, development organizations, and
activists supporting women's rights.
