This book tells the story of the astonishing uptake of  International Conflict Feminism (ICF) in the most powerful institutions of global governance. Examining fields such as transitional justice, peace-building and post-conflict economic policy, the book argues that this success came with remarkable costs, including to dissident feminisms, and visions and agendas that challenge the dominant world system, its injustices and hierarchies.
