Cynthia Enloe joins us to talk about the gendered experience of war, hierarchies of femininities and masculinities, and the importance of feminist solidarity.
Our conversation was inspired by her latest book, Twelve Feminist Lessons of War, which urges us to contemplate and maintain curiosity about the diverse realities of womenâs wartime lived realities. In a world marked by conflict, Cynthia emphasises the need to acknowledge that âwomenâs wars are not menâs warsâ as a foundation for building enduring peace. This principle serves as the starting point for our conversation on the gendered experiences of war, hierarchies of femininities and masculinities, and the importance of transnational feminist solidarity.
