Abstract
ABSTRACT. Are terrorist women the new “new women” in developing societies? Comparative cross‐national and longitudinal case studies of female terrorists ascertain that female terrorists in developing societies are similar to early feminists from the First and Second Waves of feminism. Although feminism is inherently a Western word and many female terrorists do not identify with this terminology, female terrorists are often fighting for political equality and the betterment of their gender. Female terrorists face what is called a triple bind of oppression: societal gender inequalities, oppression within their terrorist groups, and Western oppression from imperialist nations. These three kinds of oppression, or the triple bind, often hold female terrorists back from gaining political equality. However, the triple bind is also what makes these female terrorists militant in the first place. She would like to express many thanks to Dr. Lynn Weber, Dr. Sharough Akhavi, Dr. Peter Sederberg, and Dr. Laura Woliver for their invaluable advice regarding this paper.
