Core question: Is feminised warfare necessarily less violent? Topic statement: The study of war has long been dominated by the male experience, despite a history of women's participation on the front-line. This thesis will offer an alternative to the male-dominated study of security, defence and political conflict by shedding light on the female experience of war - moving away from the feminist literature on women as solely the victims of war to concentrate on the role of women as agential actors, actively choosing to participate in armed conflict. This is a significant area of study because feminist literature commonly assumes women to be inherently less violent than men, leading to the expectation that a more feminised politics would necessarily equate to a more peaceful politics. With more and more front-line positions in the military being opened up to women, and the spectacle of ISIS-fighting female Peshmerga forces grabbing headlines globally, this research will provide a timely analysis of the long-assumed dichotomy between feminine and masculine predispositions to war.

核心问题：女性化的战争是否一定不那么暴力？主题陈述：战争的研究长期以来一直由男性经验主导，尽管历史上有妇女参与前线。本论文将提供一个替代男性主导的安全，国防和政治冲突的研究，揭示了女性的战争经验-远离女权主义文学的妇女仅仅是战争的受害者，集中在妇女的作用，作为代理行为者，积极选择参加武装冲突。这是一个重要的研究领域，因为女权主义文学通常假设女性天生比男性暴力，导致人们期望一个更加女性化的政治必然等同于一个更加和平的政治。随着越来越多的军队前线职位向女性开放，以及与ISIS作战的女性Peshmerga部队在全球范围内占据头条新闻，这项研究将及时分析长期以来女性和男性之间的二分法战争倾向。
