  • Women Fighters and the .Beautiful Soul. Narrative
    Volume 92 Number 877 March 2010 Women fighters and the ‘beautiful soul’ narrative Laura Sjoberg Laura Sjobergis assistant professor of political science at the University of Florida. Abstract This article explores women’s presence in military forces around the world, looking both at women’s service as soldiers and at the gendered dimensions of their soldiering particularly, and soldiering generally. It uses the ‘beautiful soul’ narrative to describe women’s relationship with war throughout its history, and explores how this image of women’s innocence of and abstention from war has often contrasted with women’s actual experiences as soldiers and fighters. One of the great stories in the history of modern warfare is that of Jeanne d’Arc. With the French on the verge of losing the Hundred Years’ War and Henry VI of England claiming rights to the French throne, teenage Jeanne – inspired by the voices of saints – cut her hair, dressed in a man’s uniform, and took up arms for the French cause. After convincing the French leadership of her calling, Jeanne passed the necessary examinations, and was given troops to command and a military rank as captain. Jeanne d’Arc led the French to their first victories over the British in memory. Particularly, her victory at the battle of Orleans in May of 1429 is widely considered miraculous, and credited with allowing the French to crown Charles VII King of France that summer. At the coronation, Jeanne was given a place of honour next to the king, and ennobled for her services. The next year, however, she was captured in battle and turned over to an ecclesiastical court, which tried her for heresy and witchcraft.

In the 2003 war in Iraq, Americans saw images of a teenage woman as a war hero, of a female general in charge of a mili- tary prison where torture took place, of women who committed those abuses, of male victims of wartime sexual abuse and of the absence of gender in official government reactions to the torture at Abu Ghraib. I contend that several gendered stories from the 2003 war in Iraq demonstrate three major developments in militarized femininity in the United States: increasing sophistication of the ideal image of the woman soldier; stories of militarized femininity constructed in opposition to the gendered enemy; and evident tension between popular ideas of femininity and women’s agency in violence.
