What is Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores : Thinking About Women's Violence in Global Politics about?

When we discuss violent acts committed by women, our responses are almost always rooted in deeply gendered assumptions about women. We express surprise and shock that a woman could be capable of such an acta reaction that relies on a long history of unspoken assumptions about what is proper behavior for a woman. With  Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores , Caron Gentry and Laura Sjoberg apply the understanding afforded by that lens to individual violence in global politics. The authors begin by demonstrating the crucial interdependence of the individual and international levels of global politics in the lives of violent womenbut they then show how this interdependence is inaccurately depicted, or ignored altogether, in public, political, or media discussions of women’s violence. An eye-opening exploration of a major topic in the study of global conflict and women’s lives,  Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores  will be essential for both scholars and activists.
