N2  - The present literature on women’s involvement with jihadi militarist organisations tends to victimise and portray women as instruments of male leadership. However, the emergence of the so-called Islamic State (IS) has challenged this conventional characterisation. Regardless of the strict interpretation of Sharia law, IS has appointed women to positions within a wide range of state institutions and the security forces. Contrary to previously-held notions, these women remain as ideologically motivated as the men in the organisation, and their participation calls for a renewed look at women’s roles in jihadism.
