Rwanda has been used by many feminist scholars of international relations as a casestudy to play out understandings of gender-based violence in war and “civil war.” Few femi-nists have analyzed the mass rape of Rwandan women in the context of a carefully planned and prepared genocide. This article considers the ways in which, in the years leading up to April 1994, the Rwandan nation-state became increasingly militarized and masculinized. It exam-ines the extremist propaganda magazine Kangura’s use of cartoons to militarize Rwandanwomen—not just as wives, mothers and prostitutes—but as political subjects.

Using a selection of the publications of the Soviet voluntary civil defense organisation Osoaviakhim, this paper examines Soviet women’s para-military training and war preparations in the 1930s. Specific attention is paid to shooting sports and motor racing. Mention is also made of female pilots, parachutists and other areas of civil defense training. The paper discusses the impact of women’s participation in Osoaviakhim on gender roles and the militarization of Soviet society in the 1930s.
