by Jean Bethke Bethke Elshtain (Author)
This study examines how the myths of man as "Just Warrior" and woman as "Beautiful Soul" serve to recreate/secure women's social position as noncombatants and men's identity as warriors. It demonstrates how these myths are undermined by the reality of female bellicosity and sacrificial male love.
