The Women Question in International Law

This article addresses feminist views and scholarship in international law, and how they have been treated. The author argues that feminists have been successful in advancing the language of women's empowerment but less so at identifying methods for greater practical inclusion of this language on the ground. She holds that feminist scholarship on human rights is not given much attention or credence, and that modern understandings of the role of women in international conflict zones continue to cons1 them primarily as victims. The author contends that this journal will be used to disseminate the knowledge of the needs and desires of women around the world.
