This chapter explores the importance of the experiences of former female combatants during the Northern Irish Conflict with specific reference to their experience of imprisonment. The aim of this article is to situate our analysis grounded in the Foucauldian theory drawing on theoretical tools for understanding gender, power, resistance and subjectivity in order to make sense of women’s experiences of conflict and imprisonment in Ireland. It is suggested that power and resistance need to be reappropriated in order to examine such unique gendered experiences that have been hidden in mainstream criminological accounts of the Irish Conflict.
