Putting Women in their Place

About this book
Putting Women in their Place critically assesses the ways in which gender norms and gender hierarchy shape political decision-making, economic development, financial disparities, as well as violence and conflict. By intertwining personal stories, policy analysis, and the latest research, author Hilary Matfess provides a compelling, approachable framework for interpreting global politics.
Reviews
Hilary Matfess has done a real favor for the Women, Peace, and Security and/or Feminist Security Studies fields: she has penned a short, readable summary of the main topics for undergraduates and laypersons. This has been a frustrating lacuna for some time: while there are numerous books pitched at graduate-level courses, there really wasn’t a smaller book one could assign as an adjunct text in, say, an undergraduate Intro to IR or IR Theory or Intro to National Security class. And there certainly wasn’t an accessible book you could offer to your non-academic friends to help them understand WPS or FSS. Matfess’ compact, pithy volume covers all the essentials; women and national security; women and the national economy; women as political leaders and participants. It’s all here, both easily digestible and inexpensive. Brava!
