Enloe (2005) How do they militarise a can of soup? Militarisation never is simply about joining a military. It is a far more subtle process. And it sprawls over far more of the gendered social landscape than merely those peaks clearly painted a tell-tale khaki (2) militarisation does not make us pay more attention to people inside the military people can become militarised in their thinking, in how they live their daily lives, in what they aspire to for their children in its everyday forms it scarcely looks life threatening (3) even a gun can be militarised or unmilitarised militarisation of political dissent (4) rocks of misogyny and the whirlpools of militarism (7) April 1915 Pankhurst amongst those organising a demonstration for womens right to serve (8) 1915 Jane Addams and Helena Swanwick created the pan-national Womens International League for Peace & Freedom Corporate profits, family relations, collective attitudes (10) Militarisation is a complex process, frequently a contested one (11) the outsider group campaigning to enter the military doesnt become militarised; rather, the newly diversified military becomes democratised (16)

To some extent homeoerotic (37) in a relationship dominated by man, woman is generally understood as Other (38) womens involvement in the war so often understood to be a passive victim without responsibility for constructing the relationship (39) Hause argues that nationalist pressures silenced the French feminist movement, to favour solidarity Once their military presence is institutionalised, however, the picture is different (40) festival of feminine misrule (43) In order to break out of the double helix, we need to move beyond binary models of analysis. We need to hear the polyphony of historical experience, especially that of women (45) When war is understood as an ideological struggle rather than strictly a physical or diplomatc event we redefine its temporal limits(46)

Eurocentricism was challenged within international suffrage movements
