Feminist Security Studies
A Narrative Approach
Annick T.R. Wibben, University of San Francisco,
USA
This book rethinks security theory from a feminist
perspective. Uniquely, it engages feminism, security, and
strategic studies to provide a distinct feminist approach
to security studies.
The volume explicitly works toward an opening up of
security studies that would allow for feminist (and other)
narratives to be recognized and taken seriously as
security narratives. To make this possible, it presents a
feminist reading of security studies that aims to
invigorate the debate and radicalize critical security
studies. The book works through and beyond security
studies to explore possible spaces where an opening of
security, necessary to make way for feminist insights, can
take place. While it develops and illustrates a feminist
narrative approach to security, it is also intended as an
intervention that challenges the politics of security and
the meanings for security legitimized in existing
practices.

The Politics of Identity 2. Challenging Meanings 3. Toward a
