Book Description
Women war criminals are far more common than we think. From the Holocaust to ethnic cleansing
in the Balkans to the Rwandan genocide, women have perpetrated heinous crimes. Few have
been punished. These women go unnoticed because their very existence challenges our
assumptions about war and about women. Biases about women as peaceful and innocent prevent
us from "seeing" women as war criminals--and prevent postconflict justice systems from assigning
women blame.Women as War Criminals argues that women are just as capable as men of
committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. In addition to unsettling assumptions about
women as agents of peace and reconciliation, the book highlights the gendered dynamics of law,
and demonstrates that women are adept at using gender instrumentally to fight for better
conditions and reduced sentences when war ends.The book presents the legal cases of four
women: the President (Biljana Plavsic), the Minister (Pauline Nyiramasuhuko), the Soldier
(Lynndie England), and the Student (Hoda Muthana). Each woman's complex identity influenced
her treatment by legal systems and her ability to mount a gendered defense before the court.
Justice, as Steflja and Trisko Darden show, is not blind to gender.
