This book, "Female ex-combatant, empowerment, and reintegration: Gendered inequalities in Liberia and Nepal" by Michanne Steenbergen, explores the experiences of female ex-combatants in Liberia and Nepal and the gender inequalities they face. The author discusses the role of gender in conflict situations, the challenges female soldiers encounter when reintegrating into civilian life, and the importance of gender equality in peacebuilding efforts. The book also examines the concepts of liberal and feminist peacebuilding and their impact on women's empowerment. While the book focuses on Liberia and Nepal, it provides valuable insights into the broader issues of gender, conflict, development, and peacebuilding. [Extracted from the article]
