Feminist Military Studies

Feminist Military Studies is an academic field that examines how gender influences military institutions, practices, and conflicts. It explores how gender roles, inequalities, and identities shape soldiers’ experiences, military policies, and warfare dynamics. This perspective highlights overlooked issues like women’s participation, the impact of militarization on gender relations, and the ways power and violence intersect with gender. By doing so, it seeks a more comprehensive understanding of military history and influence, emphasizing the importance of gender equality and challenging traditional, male-centered narratives within military contexts.
