"The aim of the book is to show how feminist identity development and nationalism can be interlinked. ... as a contribution to the bodies of literature on conflict and peace studies, gender studies, theory on nationalism and critical social movement theory, this book supplies the discourse of ´women in war" with a fresh disrupting of the boundaries constructed around the representation of women in armed conflict."
