It uses an approach called transversal politics to analyse how women from different communities in Northern Ireland work together across an ethno-national divide to build coalitions on shared values and common goals. The book studies how a gender-just citizenship that both validates and promotes women’s political participation can be built. The book argues that for societies to move forwards after ethno-national conflict, they need to recognise women as equal citizens, deserving of the same political rights and responsibilities as men.
