The first truly global study of women warriors, individual chapters examine figures such as Joan of Arc in Cairo, revenging daughters in Samurai Japan, a transgender Mexican revolutionary and WWII Chinese spies.Exploring issues of violence, gender fluidity, memory and nation-building, the authors discuss how these real or imagined female figures were constructed and deployed in different national and transnational contexts.Divided into four parts, they explore how women warriors and their stories were created, consider the issue of the violent woman, discuss how these female figures were gendered, and highlight the fate of women warriors who live on. The chapters illustrate the ways in which female fighters have figured in nation-building stories and in the ordering or re-ordering of gender politics, and give the history of women fighters a critical edge." 650 0 $a Women soldiers $x History. 650 0 $a Women heroes. 650 0 $a Women and war $x History. 650 0 $a Women and the military $x History. 700 1 $a Cothran, Boyd, $e editor. 700 1 $a Judge, Joan, $e editor. 700 1 $a Shubert, Adrian, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781350121157 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103021155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=687B5D92BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
