Table of Contents

"Ana Carden-Coyne and her energetic contributors...are our intellectual land mine defusers. If we, their fortunate readers, read their findings slowly, if we pause to mull over their comparisons and causal revelations, we just might make it safely across the minefield of militarized gender politics to draw useful lessons on the other side." - Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, from the Afterword       "An excellent collection of well balanced articles…a very useful addition to the field." - Melanie Oppenheimer, University of New England, Australia "The essays work well together and in juxtaposition....The individual contributions, and the collection as a whole, all shed new light on the topics addressed." - Corinna Peniston-Bird, Lancaster University, UK
