Contents
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of female terrorism in America, both past and present, by taking a fresh look at womens actions of left-wing political violence, right-wing political violence, and religious extremist violence (among others). The multitude of roles that women have played over the past few decades (including leadership positions and more passive roles) not to mention the diverse methods of recruitment, radicalization, and propaganda are also examined. Our objective in this book is not to postulate a general principle of why women participate in terrorism, but to examine through a wide array of case studies, facts, statistics, and theoretical methodologies how underlying, ideological, and individual factors have all impacted or buttressed the actions that these women take. The ultimate mission of the book is to demonstrate how the exploration of female terrorism in America is important to the acknowledgment of their extreme aggression and the threat they can pose to U.S. society as a whole. Reflecting on the roles that women assume as terrorists, and how terrorist organizations gain ground by using females, we must consider this phenomenon an alarming one.
Patterns of terrorism by women and men are significant both through their similarities and their differences. Although men commit terrorist attacks at higher levels than women across all categories, womens participation in terrorism is no longer the exception; it is the norm and becoming increasingly frequent. Indeed, although analysts contradict one another on certain issues, they all concur on one major point: female involvement in terrorism is growing. Terrorism is not merely a male-dominated field; it has developed a female face. Under extreme circumstances, we are facing a wholly inaccurate or incomplete picture of the complexities of domestic terrorism, which contributes to a serious neglect of the issue at the national level.
This is a dangerous reality. Since the 1950s, there have been hundreds of recorded terrorist attacks or plots executed by women in America grave acts such as anti-governmental attacks, jihadist attacks, mass shootings, hostage crises, bombings, terrorist radicalization, and online terrorist propaganda and recruitment. This turnaround is a sign that women play an essential part in U.S. terror. The increasing focus on gender in terrorism is more related to womens involvement in violence and less with their victimization as a result of terrorism. This does not imply that violence against women is not worthy of examination; however, the current interest should be more attributed to the fact that most observers remain surprised and baffled by womens willingness to engage in political violence, especially within the context of terrorism.
