Women’s experiences of war and conflict have often been treated with silence when
documenting history. History has tended to focus mainly on combatants and political
leaders and much less on victims or survivors. For a long time, this set a tone which
said that women did not play a role in conflicts and wars.
Of course, as we all know, this is far from the truth. In many different conflicts
throughout
the world women have actively engaged in combat, as well as in
intelligence and other support roles and increasingly some women are in command
positions. Thus, in some cases, the experience of conflict and the expansion of
women’s roles is challenging traditional gender relations.
