Women and war in South Africa

Author: Jacklyn Cock
ISBN: 082980966X

Is war a gender issue? Although focused on the South African perspective, there is a wider, more universal, and surprising link between war and gender identities. This book demonstrates and explores, through the actual experiences and understandings of a range of South Africans during one of the most volatile periods in the country's history, how men and women have different access to power and resources, and how those differences are mobilized for war.
