Very few women issue commands to commit sexual violence. Very few women play a role in making war plans that feature the intentional sexual violation of other women. This book is about those very few women. Women as Wartime Rapists reveals the stories of female perpetrators of sexual violence and their place in wartime conflict, legal policy, and the punishment of sexual violence. More broadly, Laura Sjoberg asks, what do the actions and perceptions of female perpetrators of sexual violence reveal about our broader conceptions of war, violence, sexual assault, and gender? This book explores specific historical case studies, such as Nazi Germany, Serbia, the contemporary case of ISIS, and others, to understand how and why women participate in rape during war and conflict. Sjoberg examines the contrast between the visibility of female victims and the invisibility of female perpetrators, as well as the distinction between rape and genocidal rape, which is used as a weapon against a particular ethnic or national group. Further, she explores women's engagement with genocidal rape and how some orchestrated the ethnic cleansing of entire regions. A provocative approach to a sensationalized topic, Women as Wartime Rapists offers important insights into not only the topic of female perpetrators of wartime sexual violence, but to larger notions of gender and violence with crucial cultural, legal, and political implications. -- Provided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Women in war. 650 0 Women and war. 650 0 Rape as a weapon of war. 650 0 Women |xViolence against. 650 0 Violence in women. 650 0 Female sex offenders. 650 7 Female sex offenders. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00922646 650 7 Rape as a weapon of war. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01740558 650 7 Violence in women. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01167313 650 7 Women and war. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01177123 650 7 Women in war. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01178052 650 7 Women |xViolence against. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01427006 650 7 Women. |2homoit 650 7 Womyn. |2homoit 830 0 Perspectives on political violence. 852 0 |bstacks |hJZ6405.W66 |iS563 2016
