The Curious Feminist by Cynthia Enloe
A collection of essays, in which the author makes better sense of globalization and international politics by taking a deep and personal look into the daily realities in a range of women's lives. It also explores the workings of masculinity inside organizations as diverse as the American military, a Serbian militia, the UN, and Oxfam.
"With an unwavering gender optic Cynthia Enloe examines a number of themes and issues bearing on what a feminist curiosity can show you in international relations and political studiesThroughout this collection of essays, Enloe both articulates and exemplifies her philosophy that knowledge comes out of ordinary people's experiences and that it's important to pay attention to what the marginal and silent can tell us." - Cynthia Cockburn, author of The Space Between Us; "The book is a sensitive gendered analysis of interlocking developments from globalized economic markets to war and post-conflict dynamics. Enloe convincingly shows the links between and importance of women's everyday lives." - Carolyn Nordstrom, author of Shadows of War"
