At War with Women
Military Humanitarianism and Imperial Feminism in an Era of Permanent War
Book • 2023
Jennifer Greenburg's "At War with Women" examines the complex interplay between gender, military operations, and humanitarian efforts in the post-9/11 era.
The book delves into the US military's use of development as a tool of counterinsurgency, particularly focusing on the role of all-female teams.
Greenburg challenges traditional narratives surrounding women's involvement in combat and the supposed benefits of gender equality in warfare.
She exposes the contradictions and complexities of 'imperial feminism' and its impact on both US power and the lives of women in conflict zones.
The book offers a critical perspective on the lasting effects of colonial ideologies on contemporary military practices.
