Builds on and expands Gentry and Sjoberg's landmark work on violence and gender.

Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores takes the suggestion that it is important to see genderings in characterizations of violent women, and to use critique of those genderings to retheorize individual violence in global politics. It begins by demonstrating the interdependence of the personal and international levels of global politics in violent women''s lives, but then shows that this interdependence is inaccurately depicted in gender-subordinating narratives of women''s violence. Such narratives, the authors argue, are not only normatively problematic on the surface but also intersect with other identifiers, such as race, religion, and geopolitical location.
