reviewed Women and War on October 03, 2012 Women and War
Finished 11/20/2014: excelente - feels like it wanders in places, but overall really great exploration of the topic. Want to immediately reread at least parts (especially chapter 2!), but not sure if I'll have the time.
-------------------
restarted again - each time I've started this I've found it to be exceedingly well written and full of important and interesting thoughts, but had to put it down for the regular daily duties and wanted to restart to make sure I wasn't forgetting something interesting. This time I've taken a running start, and loooooved Chapter 2: The Discourse of War & Politics: From the Greeks to Today - feel like I should read it about 5 times to wring out all the info/theory in it, and a fuller understanding of the angle she takes to the material. The other thing that has slowed me down on this is how many authors it brings up which I need to have read for my own sake - I've read excerpts at one point or another, but need a fuller sense. I do love that they're all already on my list though and some I've started delving into already.
