Reviews

'Margaret Gonzales-Perez has made a significant contribution to the small but growing body of work that examines female militancy [...] Women and Terrorism will be a mainstay in the field for the foreseeable future.' - Jessica Davis, the Canadian International Council's International Journal'Gonzales-Perez discusses some well-known groups, including the IRA, the Baader-Meinhof gang, and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. She also examines groups in which women are not commonly known to have operated, including some from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Algeria. The quality of this research makes this book one of the most comprehensive analyses of women in African political violence to date.' - Jessica Davis, the Canadian International Council's International Journal
