Women don’t have to be in the military to experience the subtle effects of its hierarchy, gender theorist Cynthia Enloe told her audience at a Thursday lecture.
Her talk – titled “Where are the Women in the U.S. War in Iraq? Why Does it Matter?” – drew about 50 UW-Madison students and faculty members. It focused on defining what Enloe called the “subtle, multifaceted process” of militarization and how it determines women’s roles.
