This
chapter basically questions the involvement of women in the political affairs
and issues of Afghanistan and Iraq. Over the years, international alliances and
imperialism has been present in these countries, such as the US military forces
in Afghanistan. In situations where certain political, international and even
military issues arise, the involvement was lost and the voices of women
remained unheard. Because of this, the chapter has explored the different
reasons and the means women get to stand up, such as through international
alliances. At the same time, this chapter served several implications for women
to become more actively involved in politics and even military affairs, which
includes the academic field. Moreover, the chapter has numerous insights to
offer with regards to the creation of an empire and the role of gender in
establishing such.
The issues and diverse pictures of
this Chapter about feminism in the aspect of imperialism and political issues
are insightful. It is personally learned that the core involvement of women in
the Afghanistan and Iraqi international and political affairs has been
gendered. The concept of feminism was also found to be deeply rooted in the
culture of social status for a long period of time, which makes it difficult to
for women to get involved in issues like international alliances and military
affairs. It is as well saddening that women’s voices are not heard in the field
of politics, which emphasizes that they are underrepresented in the society.
