Reviews for The Women in Blue Helmets: Gender, Policing, and the UN´s First All-Female Peacekeeping Unit
Pruitt's work prompts deeper reflection on questions such as whether there is a 'right kind' of gender mainstreaming, what the premises actually are for female participation, and how small changes can contribute to larger transformations. It is therefore a highly recommended read for any feminist or peace scholar.
