- Abstract
Cynthia Enloe's book, "Twelve feminist lessons of war," offers a feminist perspective on the complexities of wartime scenarios. Enloe examines the experiences of women and girls in various conflicts throughout history, using stories and everyday objects to illustrate the pervasiveness and complexity of gendered power. The book challenges the notion of "later" as a patriarchal construct and explores the tension between women's involvement in the military as liberation or patriarchal exploitation. Overall, the book provides tools to dismantle and rebuild perceptions about war and gender roles, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and solidarity in resisting patriarchy.
