Review Quotes:
'A comprehensive guide to the field of Feminist Security Studies. Its authors present a compelling case for why security cannot be understood without a gender lens. This Handbook is a must read for all those concerned with global security in its many dimensions.' -- J. Ann Tickner, American University, USA
'International explorations of security and insecurity are now in high gear. Amongst the most fruitful are those by investigators with an explicit gender curiosity. Delving into Gentry, Shepherd, and Sjoberg's new Handbook is the surest way to get up to speed - and join in - this crucial international exploration.'-- Cynthia Enloe, author of The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging Persistent Patriarchy.
'This comprehensive Handbook reflects the diversity and complexities in the study of gender and security. As such, it is a valuable resource for advanced researchers. For those still testing these (scholarly) waters, the Handbook would be an excellent starting point.'-- Soumita Basu, South Asian University, India
