^I Women as Terrorists^R is the first post-9/11 book to examine women's multifarious roles in terrorist organizations of all stripes around the world, including political, religious, ethno-separatist, and Maoist groups in Palestine, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, Colombia, South Africa, the Philippines, and Northern Ireland. Modeling terrorist organizations as purposive organizations that depend for support, recruitment, and rationale on a culturally defined community of sympathizers, Cragin and Daly analyze the key functional roles that women play within and on behalf of those organizations as strategic thinkers, galvanizing symbols, logisticians, recruiters, nurturers, and operatives.^I Women as… Terrorists^R is the first post-9/11 book to examine women's multifarious roles in terrorist organizations of all stripes around the world, including political, religious, ethno-separatist, and Maoist groups in Palestine, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, Colombia, South Africa, the Philippines, and Northern Ireland. Modeling terrorist organizations as purposive organizations that depend for support, recruitment, and rationale on a culturally defined community of sympathizers, Cragin and Daly analyze the functional roles that women play within and on behalf of those organizations.The roles that women play in terrorist organization run the gamut from stategic to operational: DT strategic thinkers in the political wings of terrorist organizations DT galvanizing symbols, as through hunger strikes or as widows and orphans of male martyrs DT _ logisticians, passing communications and money between cells DT _ recruiters and nurturers, as in Islamic charities and the Palestinian culture of martyrs DT operatives, including suicide bombers and guerilla fighters. The authors conclude with a prospectus on the ways in which terrorist groups' use of women might be expected to evolve in the coming years, with particular attention to al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups, together with implications for counterterrorist strategies.
