“[Gendered Militarism] provides both a theoretical and practical foundation for the necessary consideration of gendered militarism in a wide range of applications. The book’s language is accessible, its examples are many and clear, and its theoretical frameworks provide a wide variety of complementary approaches as applied to personal, local, national and international contexts. The diversity of the approaches and contributors undoubtedly add validity to the book’s findings, and each author provides different ways of resisting and opposing gendered militarism…. [W]hether the reader comes from education, gender studies, communication and cultural studies, or government, military or civilian organizations, they will find the book helpful in identifying where and when gendered militarism is replicated and advanced.” Patricia Mazepa, TOPIA Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies, Volume 37
