Women and War by Jean Bethke Elshtain
Jean Elshtain examines how the myths of Man as "Just Warrior" and Woman as "Beautiful Soul" serve to recreate and secure women's social position as noncombatants and men's identity as warriors. Elshtain demonstrates how these myths are undermined by the reality of female bellicosity and sacrificial male love, as well as the moral imperatives of just wars.The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics at The University of Chicago is Jean Bethke Elshtain.
