Women Milbloggers: Narratives of Military Life
Abstract
The presence of feminist thought today is significant in theoretical and philosophical discourses about texts and technologies of text production. In this chapter, the authors raise a discussion about how personal narratives about military life and combat experiences, written and published by women on the Web, should be read and interpreted within the contemporary feminist tradition. The authors approach the minority group of women milbloggers as a diverse community, members of which have already developed complex hierarchies and conflicting gender politics. They provide critical analysis of a selection of blog posts by women milbloggers in which they address the traditionally male/masculine canons, such as military life and war. The authors suggest that Clair Colebrook’s (2000) perspective on the role of the feminist political thought as “contamination” of patriarchal tradition is useful in a critical reading of women’s military blogs today.
