Citizen-Soldiers and Manly Warriors: Military Service and Gender in the Civic Republican Tradition

By R. Claire Snyder and Claire R. Snyder

Book Overview

What happens in a tradition that links citizenship with soldiering when women become citizens?

Using a postmodern feminist lens, Snyder reveals that within the citizen-soldier tradition, citizenship and masculinity are simultaneously constituted through engagement in civic and martial practices.
