This book stems from a simple 'feminist curiosity' that can be
succinctly summed up into a single question: what happens to
combatant women after the war? Based on in-depth interviews with 40
research participants, mostly former combatants within the Irish
Republican Army (IRA), this book offers a critical exploration of
republican women and conflict transition in the North of Ireland.
Drawing on the feminist theory of a continuum of violence, this
book finds that the dichotomous separation of war and peace within
conventional approaches represents a gendered fiction. Despite
undertaking wartime roles that were empowering, agentic, and
subversive, this book finds that the 'post-conflict moment' as
experienced by female combatants represents not peace and security,
but a continuity of gender discrimination, violence, injustice, and
insecurity. The experiences and perspectives contained in this book
challenge the discursive deployment of terms such as post-conflict,
peace, and security, and moreover, shed light on the many forms of
post-war activism undertaken by combatant women in pursuit of
peace, equality, and security. The book represents an important
intervention in the field of gender, political violence, and peace,
and more specifically, female combatants and conflict transition.
It is analytically significant in its exploration of the ways in
which gender operates within non-state military movements emerging
from conflict, and will be of interest to students and scholars
alike.
