Book review: International security and gender

"International Security and Gender." Nicole Detraz. Polity. April 2013. --- What does it mean to be secure? In the global news, we hear stories daily about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, about domestic–level conflicts around the world, about the challenges of cybersecurity and social security. This broad list highlights the fact that security is an idea with multiple meanings, but do we all experience security issues in the same way? In this book, Nicole Detraz explores the broad terrain of security studies through a gender lens. Natalie Novick finds that this accessible book provides a strong argument for further scholarship on gender throughout the security literature.
