Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Womens Lives > Customer Review #2: Important feminist study on militarisation

Cynthia Enloe adds to her series of writings looking at the effects of militarisation on womens lives - from the laundresses, camp followers, comfort women and sex workers to feminist military personnel and those who fight the home front. Like Jan Jindy Pettmans "Worlding Women - a feminist international politics", Enloes latest book seeks to look at international relations from a gendered perspective - and succeeds admirably.

T he Women's Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program providing courses and a minor and a concentration in Women's Studies. It is open to students in all degree programs.
Identifying gender as fundamental to the way that men and women understand themselves, Women's Studies focuses on the position of women and, thus, causes us to rethink history and culture. The academic discipline of Women Studies continues to transform scholarship and basic assumptions in all areas of the humanities, social sciences, and the professions.
Courses in Women's Studies address the history and achievement of women and analyze the implications of gender roles in the past and present. Courses consider such topics and the social and cultural consequences for both women and men of gender divisions and sex-role restrictions. They ask such questions as: To what extent are gender divisions in society biologically determined, and to what extent are they social constructions? How has the subordination of women been a factor in the formation of legal and economic systems around the world? In what ways can such disciplines as Philosophy, Literature, and Religious Studies change once women become active participants and creators? What is the significance of gender in the formation of systems of thought and the symbols we use?

Short Courses BA Women's Studies London Metropolitan (through its predecessor UNL) introduced the first Womens Studies undergraduate programme in Britain, in 1986. Today, with over fifteen years of experience, development and innovation, Womens Studies at London Met is a dynamic, interdisciplinary subject that addresses the need for an informed analysis of women and gender issues in a rapidly changing world. Two factors are key to the Womens Studies programme at London Met. First, we believe in the importance of exploring the situation of women in all their complexity. This means that our course focuses on the ways in which womens lives are informed not only by gender, but also by differences of race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, age and culture. It means that we aim to provide students with a firm grounding in womens history as well as in womens contemporary situations in the UK, Europe and the world. It also means a willingness to be open and innovative in response to social, political and cultural changes in the situation of women, and to the changing needs and expectations of our students. Second, we are committed to

8. Women in Armed Groups
Only small minority of armed groups were women. They were strongly discouraged from front line service and channelled into administrative and medical back up roles.
They included Serb, Croat and Bosnian Muslim women. Some women returned from abroad to fight.
Davorka Svalina, 21, was on front line in Dubrovnik - ‘I could not stand it, to simply watch as my classmates risked their lives for our freedom. I knew that I could shoot. Anyone can do that. My training came from hatred. There is only one thing I know for certain. I will never again be as important as I am right now.’
Cited in Women at the Front (1994) World Press Review Korac also points out that women who participate in national chauvinism get sense of empowerment even though they have secondary role.
'Further, women who have gone to the front have rapidly been converted into mythical figures confirming that women enter history only when they take on masculine roles.'

Radical Teacher
Spring, 2003 by Margaret D. Stetz
I would like to argue for the importance of bringing this interdisciplinary, multi-racial, transnational material into Women's Studies courses, whether those on global feminist movements, women and war, Asian and Western feminisms, women and violence, women in the arts, women and politics, women's history; or in the introduction to Women's Studies as a field. My reasons for making this argument include those you may already expect. Certainly, teaching the story of the "comfort women" and of the organizing efforts that have grown up around them can help to express solidarity with women who deserve support; having a new generation of academics take their experiences of sexual violence seriously is the least that these women deserve as their due. Such teaching can have the side benefit, too, of demonstrating that (contrary to the standard anti-feminist line) feminist concerns are not primarily white, middle-class, or exclusively American. But even as I suggest that to teach "comfort women issues can be an important service to the survivors themselves, as well as a service to students who need to be educated about the wide range of global feminism and to see how closely scholarship and activism can work together, I want to go further still. I want to assert that the "comfort women issue has a crucialindeed an indispensablerole to play right now, at this historical moment, in confronting dangerous assumptions that have become prevalent on all U. S. campuses, even in Women's Studies classrooms. Ultimately, Women's Studies may have more to gain from the lessons of the "comfort women" than the "comfort women" movement has to gain from our interest in it.
