<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Illuminating the unique experiences of women both during and after genocide, JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz and Donna Gosbee's edited collection is a vital addition to genocide scholarship. The contributors revisit genocides of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Armenia in 1915 to Gujarat in 2002, examining the roles of women as victims, witnesses, survivors, and rescuers. The text underscores women's experiences as a central yet often overlooked component to the understanding of genocide.<br/><br/>Drawing from narratives, memoirs, testimonies, and literature, this ground-breaking volume brings together women's stories of victimization, trauma, and survival. Each chapter is framed by a consistent methodology to allow for a comparative analysis, revealing the ways in which women's experiences across genocides are similar and yet profoundly different.<br/><br/>By looking at genocide from a gendered perspective, <em>Women and Genocide</em> constitutes an important contribution to feminist research on war and political violence. Featuring critical thinking questions and concise histories of each genocidal period discussed, this highly accessible text is an ideal resource for both students and instructors in this field and for anyone interested in the study of women's lives in times of violence and conflict.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Covering an unusually broad range of genocides around the world, this volume assembles highly original, empirically rich, and methodologically thoughtful research on the suffering and the agency of women during and after events of mass violence in France, Romania, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, Guatemala, Kosovo, India, and Bangladesh in the 20th century. This book is a must-read for students of women's history and genocides, and it may serve as a model for further explorations into the gendered experience of violence, terror, and war." - Thomas Kuhne, Strassler Professor of Holocaust History, Clark University<br>
