| Summary: | The exponential growth in literature on female combatants in rebel groups so far has explored 'why' women rebel, 'where' women rebel, and 'when' women rebel. Yet, exisiting literature largely assume women combatants as homogenous universal category having similar experiences of war and 'post-war'. In this milieu, this book focuses on 'how' women rebel given their multiple intersecting identities and social subjectivities. It looks at how female combatants experience war and 'post-war' in the public and private sphere by using intersectionality both as a theoretical framework and a methodological tool inspired by feminist research methodology to explore the complex experience of women combatants during and after war. |
