Feminist Review Annual Lecture

Cynthia Enloe on ‘How Long Does a War Last?’
Tuesday 21st July 2009, 6 - 8:30pm,
Khalili Lecture Theatre, University of London, Russell Square, Thornhaugh Street

A war doesn’t simply end…and doesn’t end simply. With British forces withdrawing from Iraq and US forces scaling back, and with Western media turning away from Iraq, there’s a temptation to imagine the Iraq War is ‘over’. In reality, Iraqi women, British and US women, in all their distinct conditions, each are being left to ‘pick up the pieces’. Those experiences of women – and their ideas about what they are doing – need to be taken seriously if the actual “costs” of war are to be tallied and if a more realistic grasp of “security” is to be gained.
