In this important episode of Guerrilla History, bring on Sarah Raymundo to discuss Women and Militarism, with a particular focus on the context of the Philippines, but ranging far beyond that! Within this conversation, we discuss the impact of militarism, and imperialist/colonialist military presence on women, as well as women's resistance to militarism. This is a critical discussion, and Sarah brings out many important threads here within the conversation. You, listeners, will no doubt be happy to know that we have plans for another episode with Sarah soon, on indigenous issues within the Philippines, so be sure to stay tuned!
