They track three emergi...

-
Paul Sharkey (Translator), Martha A. Ackelsberg (Introduction by), and Ingrid Strobl |
|
Common perception of women during wartime relegates them to the sidelines of history—working in munitions factories, or waiting for their men to return. The truth is that much of the resistance to fascism should be chalked up to the people whom official accounts have nothing to say. Partisanas excavates the history of women who planted bombs, shouldered guns, and were among the most active parti...

A Field Guide For Female Interrogators
-
Coco Fusco |
|
The world was shocked by the images that emerged from Abu Ghraib, the U.S.-controlled prison in Iraq. Lynndie England, the young female army officer shown smiling devilishly as she humiliated male prisoners, became first a scapegoat and then a victim who was "just following orders."
