Kirsten A. Holmstedt

    Kirsten Holmstedt sa zameriava na neprebádané oblasti ženskej skúsenosti v armáde. Jej práca čerpá z hĺbkového výskumu a osobných rozhovorov s vojačkami, ktoré sa prvýkrát stretli s bojom. Skrze tieto príbehy osvetľuje ich odvahu, odolnosť a meniacu sa úlohu žien vo vojnách. Jej štýl skúma zložité otázky služby, identity a dopadu vojny na jednotlivca.
