This major new book directly challenges the stereotype that women are inherently peaceable by examining female combatants in ethno-national conflicts.Drawing upon two fresh case studies of Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland, it explores how when women have traditionally appeared in literature on war they have been predominantly depicted as the victims of conflict. This book takes seriously the reality of women as combatants. Indeed, female soldiers/irregulars are features of most modern conflicts. Drawing on original interview materials, it addresses why and how some women choose to become violently engaged in nationalist conflicts. It also highlights the personal and political costs and benefits incurred by such women to present a valuable insight into this ever topical area.
