Lecture given by Carol Cohn (Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights, University of Massachusetts, Boston).
Women activists from war zones around the world have fought for women's participation in peace negotiations, seeing women's inclusion as a path to ending wars more quickly and to creating more gender-equitable postwar societies. This talk examines not only the reasons the demand has met so much resistance, but also some of the assumptions underpinning the belief that getting women to the peace table would result in the desired political outcomes.
