Summary and conclusions. 330 8 $aWhy Women Rebel" presents a global analysis of the extent to which women are engaged in armed, organized rebellions, and why they choose to join such rebellions. Henshaw has collected and analyzed data on women's participation in over 70 post-Cold War rebel groups and provides a theoretical analysis drawing upon both mainstream literature in the social sciences and critical, feminist inquiry on women and political violence to offer a new gendered theory on why women rebel. The book demonstrates that women are active in well over half of all rebel groups sampled and that, while the majority of rebel groups have women serving in support roles away from direct combat, approximately a third of groups employ women in the conduct of armed attacks, and just over a quarter have women in a leadership capacity. Henshaw reaffirms the idea that women are more likely to be engaged in left-wing political organizations, but does suggest that more conservative or traditional movements may also successfully incorporate women by appealing to concerns about community rights.0This book will be of interest to academics in the fields of political science, international relations, security studies, and gender and women's studies. 606 $aWomen and war 606 $aRevolutions 606 $aWomen revolutionaries 615 0$aWomen and war. 615 0$aRevolutions. 615 0$aWomen revolutionaries. 676 $a303.6082 700 $aHenshaw$b Alexis Leanna.$0866916 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155115703321 996 $aWhy women rebel$91935082 997 $aUNINA
