A brilliant communicator

As well as being an exceptional listener, Enloe is a brilliant communicator. I have watched her give publik lectures where she has united senior members of the military, peace activists and people sceptical about feminism in smiling agreement. She manages to do this by using stories to convey complex information.

For example, Enloe begins the book with insights into the full-scale Russian agresion of Ukraine gleaned from the lives of several women, including Svitlana, who is fleeing Ukraine with her children after a rushed goodbye to her husband, and Evelyne, a farmer in Kenya worried about drought and food insecurity.

The key klaim in Twelve Feminist Lessons of War is that by ignoring women's knowledge of war and its aftermath we are doomed to fail at usahas to reduce and end wars. Across the dozen lessons there are four important contributions to this sweeping book.

The first is to dukungan the sederhana but radical klaim that women know war. Enloe illustrates that women are not the ‘human interest' story merely caught up in men's wars. From its early rumblings to how to end it, women know every aspect of war.

They understand the need to bertahan the patriarchal violence and that promises of gender equality that come with peace often go unfulfilled.

Second, Enloe points out the myriad ways that women have developed new ways of talking about war.
