The purpose of this critical ethnography was to examine female combatants agency, voice, identity, and representation during violent political conflict and in the resulting cultural and political transformation to develop an exploratory, complexdescription of female combatants lived experiences pre-and post-conflict.. This critical ethnography sheds light on the concepts of womanhood, voice, silencing, resistance, and the relationship between a revolutionary movement and the colonial state through the framework of postcolonial theory, in order to address the underrepresentation of the experiences of women who are participants in armed conflict, and the resulting lack of voice for those women in academic and political discourse of post-conflict societies. Data collection methods include the use of interviews, field notes, observations, and historical data on female participation and inclusion or exclusion in State and Provisional IRA narratives during the time period of the Troubles, and the resulting peace transformation process. Data collection took place from May 13 to August 1, 2013 in Belfast and Derry, Northern Ireland. Five ethnographic findings from the data highlight common experiences among republican women, including: 1) the role of the family and community as galvanizing factors, 2) experiences with colonial and gendered violence, 3) resistance, 4) gender within the republican movement, and 5) identity, voice, and representation. The conclusion situates these findings within postcolonial theory, and presents the implications for the discipline of social work, which has the potential to develop new policies and methods of classifying social problems in post-conflict societies.
