Tickner--an established scholar in international relations and a well-informed and thoughtful feminist--rethinks from a feminist point of view virtually every conventional category used by theorists and practictioners of international relations: the state, the international system, security, rationalism, citizenship, and more. -- Susan Moller Okin, Stanford University

Reviews
Tickner's stimulating challenge can be disputed, but it is too well considered and thoughtful to ignore. Gender in International Relations is likely to begin a productive debate involving international relations scholars, feminist thinkers, and others concerned about security in the most inclusive sense. -- Robert O. Keohane, Harvard University
Tickner's book provides ways to begin to frame discomfort with this narrowly gender-conceived and yet oddly self-satisfied field of [international relations]. It features the new and the bold and the uninvestigated. It provides alternative points of departure for theory and impresses us with the amount of work feminist scholars have already done to clear the brush. Of utmost value, it tells of the many ways the field...needs feminist thinking to get its knowledge and priorities straight. -- Christine Sylvester, American Political Science Review
