Gender, Justice, and the Wars in Iraq
«A new and distinctive feminist voice on war! Sjoberg grabs hold of the trickiest issues of justice and war making, as well as war avoiding, and shakes everything up. I especially welcome her use of empathetic cooperation to re-frame feminist thinking on war. This rigorous and reflective study will be a benchmark work for years to come.»
Christine Sylvester, Lancaster University

«Sjoberg has developed her dissertation, a feminist analysis of the Iraq wars, into a vibrant addition to the just war literature. . . . Recommended.»
CHOICE
«A significant strength of the text lies in its method of articulating potential counter-discourses to those actually employed in the case of the Iraq Wars, which draw inaginatively on a feminist war ethic....Gender, Justice, and the Wars in Iraq provides thought-provoking reading for students and academics alike...»
International Feminist Journal of Politics
«What greater challenge for feminists than justifying war and the (gendered) violence it entails? Sjoberg bravely goes where others fear to tread and in this timely book delivers a persuasive account of the Iraqi wars and how feminisms enable more adequate and applicable just war theory.»
