CHOICE Review

The essays in Women, Gender, and Terrorism , edited by Sjoberg (Univ. of Florida) and Gentry (Abilene Christian Univ.), seek to identify and dispel stereotypic depictions of the role of women presented in all too many academic analyses of 20th- and 21st-century terrorism. Chapters critique the often unidimensional or bifurcated (black widow/zombie) portrayals of women terrorists. Specifically, the contributing authors highlight the extent to which many analyses have been filtered through men's eyes or have tended to categorize women's motivations for engaging in terror as lacking rational volition. Although all chapters are rigorous, some chapters are less accessible to those not already conversant with terms such as "Orientalism." However, chapters such as those examining terrorism in Kashmir and Sri Lanka and the interview with Leila Khaled are more easily understood and provide significant insight into the complex rationale for women choosing to become actively involved in terrorist acts. These and other chapters emphasize the significance of women's awareness of more generalized group suffering, ideological motivations, and national culture in prompting women's choice to engage in terrorist acts. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. C. W. Herrick Muhlenberg College
