“The Stigma of Nation”: Feminist Just War, Privilege, and Responsibility

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 March 2020

Abstract

If women are not yet accorded the full rights of citizenship internationally and especially in the military context, a feminist position on just war may have to be provisional. Drawing on Virginia Woolf's argument referenced in the title, Eide suggests in this essay that feminist theory develop its principles from women's exclusion from national privileges and argues that jus post bellum or justice after war be central to feminist theories of just war.
