"Schiet eerst de vrouwen neer" luidt het advies van Interpol aan de Europese anti-terreurbrigades. De Britse journaliste Eileen MacDonald vroeg zich af waarom, en besloot te gaan praten met de terroristes zelf. Het leverde een boek op dat afrekent met de vele hardnekkige vooroordelen over vrouwen die geweld gebruiken. 'Na de eerste interviews was ik niet meer op zoek naar hun slechtheid', aldus Eileen MacDonald. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Drawn from the paper doll collection of the Boston Children's Museum, this volume reproduces in full-color two historic cut-out paper dolls and 30 authentic and exquisite costumes. The dolls and outfits were originally published in the Boston Herald's Sunday supplements during 1895–96. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

However, the book, by its structure and content, is completely incapable of supporting what seems to be the thesis of the book, that female are somehow more ruthless than men, and mostly unable to answer the main question of the book : what causes women to become terrorists? The question and the thesis could only be answered by a comprehensive statistical analysis, and the book is largely data free. Macdonald juxtaposes ideas without really trying to link them together logically, and the testimony of the counter terrorist guy is speculative and not particularly convincing. It's a little surprising, also, that she could be told so many times that women represent a small portion of these various terrorists groups and then not suggest that the women she chose to interview are as they are in part because they come from a highly-selected sample (and doubly so, because she interviewed only those she could and wanted to) and are certainly not representative of the average woman. Even if the thesis was limited to female terrorists vs their male counterparts, it would be hard to support. ( )
