Overview
Demonstrates that feminist notions of ‘agency’ and ‘victimhood’ are problematic and inadequate to understand women’s political action and inter-subjectivity
Reveals the presence of agential political power in Muslim women, often portrayed as 'weak'
Discusses women’s rights at large with a specific focus on how Kashmiri Muslim women found creative and often subversive ways to assert their rights through militarization
