| Summary |
The feminist approaches in this volume look at two interconnected issues in the complex matrix of gender, war, and militarism: the impacts of war and militarism on people (especially but not limited to women) and the gendered construction of war and militarism, linked to systems of power and inequality based on race, class, nation, and so on |
