Female Suicide Bombings: A Critical Gender Approach
Book •
Narozhna and Knight apply a gendered lens to the phenomenon of female suicide bombings, exploring how gender norms, organisational strategies, and sociopolitical contexts shape women's participation.
The book synthesises case studies and theoretical frameworks to challenge reductive explanations that portray female bombers solely as emotional or coerced.
It examines recruitment patterns, propaganda, and operational roles across different conflicts, highlighting both agency and coercion.
The authors argue for more nuanced policy and scholarly approaches that consider gendered power relations within militant groups.
Their work is used by researchers and policymakers to inform gender-sensitive counterterrorism strategies.
