Feminist Solutions for Ending War

This book offers a compelling exploration of how feminist perspectives can contribute to ending war, presenting innovative solutions and practical strategies.

In Feminist Solutions for Ending War, the authors tackle the pressing question of whether war can truly come to an end. They explore the idea that patriarchal capitalism is a significant factor driving modern conflicts, and they propose that feminism offers viable pathways to peace. By challenging the notion that war is an inherently masculine endeavor, the contributors present a compelling argument that feminist perspectives can lead to innovative solutions for ending violence.

Each chapter of Feminist Solutions for Ending War delves into practical applications of feminist and queer theories, demonstrating how these frameworks can inform pacifist movements and treaties. The contributors suggest a variety of strategies, including arms abolition, the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge, and a reevaluation of how civilian casualties are measured. This multifaceted approach highlights the potential for transformative change at both domestic and international levels.

The book emphasizes that while dismantling the complex structures that perpetuate war is no small feat, the solutions presented are both achievable and necessary. By envisioning a world beyond the constraints of capitalist patriarchy, Feminist Solutions for Ending War makes a powerful case for the feasibility of a life without war, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of conflict and peace.
