Enloe examines recent events—Bangladeshi garment factory deaths,

women in international politics today.
With all new and updated chapters, Enloe describes how many
women's seemingly personal strategies—in their marriages, in
their housework, in their coping with ideals of beauty—are, in
reality, the stuff of global politics. Enloe offers a feminist
gender analysis of the global politics of both masculinities and
femininities, dismantles an apparently overwhelming world system,
and reveals that system to be much more fragile and open to
change than we think.
