This book provides a comprehensive analysis of female terrorism in
America, both past and present. The volume takes a fresh look at
women's actions of left-wing political violence, right-wing
political violence, and religious extremist violence (among
others). It also examines the multitude of roles that women have
played over the past few decades in such organizations (including
leadership positions and more passive roles)-not to mention the
diverse methods of recruitment, radicalization, and propaganda. The
objective of this book is to examine-using a wide range of case
studies, facts, statistics, and theoretical methodologies-how
collective or personal factors have influenced or reinforced the
actions that these women take. Government agencies continue to
underestimate the ability of women to support and perpetrate
terrorism. As such, the United States is facing a wholly inaccurate
and incomplete picture of the complexities of domestic terrorism,
and this is contributing to a serious neglect of the issue at the
national level. This volume ultimately aims to offer
policy-relevant solutions to decrease the threat of domestic female
political violence in the United States. Female Terrorism in
America will be of much interest to students of terrorism and
political violence, American politics, gender studies, and
sociology.
