Riassunto

'To disarm patriarchy, to resist and transform relations of male domination and female subordination, must be the ultimate goal of feminism. The question of how this is to be done is therefore one of feminism's central concerns, and is also my subject here. This book is about how, at one historically specific moment, in one particular place in the world, women acted together to confront patriarchy, and to challenge militarism.'
(from the Introduction)

In Disarming Patriarchy, Sasha Roseneil examines the ways in which feminists can resist and transform relations of male domination and female subordination. It is an important contribution to the debates which surround feminism, politics, identity, sexuality and militarism. It is also about one of the most momentous social movements of the twentieth century, a movement which galvanized into action hundreds of thousands of women, confronting patriarchal ideas and challenging the foundations of militarism. Disarming Patriarchy is the first in-depth sociological study of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, and is an important contribution to the understanding of women's agency and feminist politics, and to the analysis of contemporary social movements.

Disarming Patriarchy is important reading for students of women's studies, sociology, politics and international relations and for everyone interested in our recent social history.
