Are the logics of war and neoliberalism compatible with the empowerment of women and the pursuit of feminist goals? Mary Hawkesworth describes what happens to women, social attitudes, and political structures both during war and after demobilization. She also cites processes of feminization that affect labor, patterns of poverty, and even men. (Encore presentation.)
