Description: The first comprehensive study of women guerrillas in Iranian Kurdistan
Review Quotes: 'An epistemic intervention addressing the neglect of Kurdish women's experiences from Western and Middle Eastern feminist studies, as well as from Kurdish and Iranian studies, fields that have historically overlooked both women and Kurdish perspectives. Drawing on extensive interviews yet written with the immersive depth of longstanding ethnography, Fatemeh Karimi reveals how these women's military, intellectual, and everyday contributions in post-revolutionary era were essential to the organisation and challenged traditional hierarchies, both in society and within the organisation'
