Although revolutions and revolutionary behavior have been the                   focus of attention of numerous social science disciplines, very                 little attention has been paid to the motivations for individuals               to become involved in a revolutionary movement.  This Doctoral                  Dissertation research addresses this topic by examining the                     circumstances which prompted women to participate in the                        Zimbabwean liberation war between 1972 - 1979.                                                                                                                  The changing composition of the rural areas of Zimbabwe brought                 by economic and political dimensions of colonial rule created the               circumstances which led to women's participation in the war.                    While most analyses of peasant politics focus on class and                      exclude age and gender, this study will incorporate insights from               political science, history, and anthropology in order to                        highlight the social construction of gender.  This approach                     raises questions about how gender is intertwined with class and                 age; and how different configurations of these factors across                   geographic area and time affected peasant women's responses to                  the liberation struggle.  This project involves a case study of a               rural district in northeasten Zimbabwe and utilizes survey                      research methods and indepth interviews.  The results of this                   research promise to be of interest to researchers in several                    disciplines who are concerned with rural-based revolutionary                    movements.
